Just in Awwwwwwwwe! One of the most amazing shots I've seen in a long time! I went out to a local audubon last week for the first time shooting with some seasoned birders.... It was an enlightening experience to say the least. There was guy I was shooting with that had the same body as yours 1DX and a nice long prime. His shots were so crispy, and I was there with a very nice lens, (200-400mm with internal 1:4 magnifier, however my body is the 7D original (not mk2) and it sure showed the limitations of my body. ONCE again, INCREDIBLE IMAGE!!!

Learn everything about your subject, learn good field craft skills. Pre-plan what it is you want to do and how to do it. Understand the limitations of your equipment, be patient and most of all enjoy what you are doing
