Stood around for an hour waiting for the birds to return (they were 5 minutes late) and got this shot.

They were probably waiting for your battery to drain. Eventually one of them honked to the other, "D ...

Yes, I had just slapped a second battery in from all that waiting.  They came in from a different direction than expected, I was hoping they would fly over rather into me!

It can be done! Check this video out.

How did you get sound on the vid? Or did you get it from somewhere else. Nice shots BTW.
