Sometimes it all comes together. You're bird flies just a predicted. The equipment didn't let you down. You chose a perfect exposure. Such is the case with this image. I was shooting all morning a flock of Snow Geese with some but not great success. Then this bird flew close and slow enough to be easily tracked by me and my camera. I have four great images of this bird. Some may be disturbed by the clipped wingtip. I figure some sacrifices are needed to get the bird the right size and placed at the correct point.
