Nice job Ron! There's nothing wrong with photographing the common birds out there, especially when you get such a nice pose, exposure, and sharpness. Thanks for posting!

Hi Ron,
You did a common species proud. As mentioned above.....very nice color and detail in the wing.

So you were able to pan such fast flying subject vertically? If so, VERY impressive techniques!
