This one was at the top of a hill above the tree tops way on the other side of the road and was quite a ways up in the air. I used shutter priority and held down the AE and locked in the bird and hoped for the best. I normally do not use SP, but this seemed like a good time to give it a try. I was a little concerned the 51 focus points would lock on to the trees, but was pretty excited to just keep firing away and hope for the best.

Two were circling overhead. The air was so calm I heard their wing beats before seeing them.
