How does the machine gun focus before the bird is half way to the east coast?

I could do that, if my "gun" would shoot. Won't.

Wonder if the F5.6 400 would.

Do you literally raise your camera to a flyover like that and have the lens focus?

Which lens?

Also, was the EV compensation setting the same for both shots? Also, what F stop? You have enough DOF for the eye plus.......the whole bird.
