Thanks Mark. I'm a bit amazed also, since I had the 1.4x TC mounted, which was slowing it down a bit. I tracked them across the lake and had them in my sites for several seconds, so that helped with the tracking.
You can't see it here, but if you click on the image and go to Flickr to see it full-screen, then you might see that the lead drake's head is actually OOF. He's on a plane just ahead of the others. It's compressed perspective here, so it looks like he's only inches ahead, but he was leading from several feet ahead. I had enough light to drop f-stop to f/8 or maybe even f/11, but I didn't think to do it.
