American Wigeon - Phoenix, Arizona
D7200, Sigma 150-600S @ 460mm, ISO 400, f/8, 1/1600

We spent an afternoon working on flight shooting of Wigeons, Ring-necks, and Pintails, with the occasional Mallard thrown in during last week's NSN Arizona DuckShop.  For those wondering if the AF tracking is good enough for flight with the 150-600 Sport lens, it had absolutely no problem and even tracked Grackles just fine.  This is not cropped so this is pretty close in and it tracked every frame.
