Your eyes are not deceiving you. Therein lies the one of the drawbacks 
of the 80-400 VR. It is not exactly an AF speed king, or bad light 
solution. At times the AF can be frustratingly slow and even though 
this bird stands his ground, you still have to be quick on the trigger 
to make the capture.

Also those shots were taken on different days, and the overcast, light 
and position were not good for that shot taken with a  D70. It would 
have been much better with a D300 or D3 with a 70-200 VR or Rita's 
500/4.

The good thing is that osprey is a seasonal regular at that spot and 
now I have better weaponry with a new D300.
