Long tailed Widowbird 2

Another Widowbird image from the series. I had to clone out distraction in the BG.
Nikon D3s 600 VR. 1/800sec -F5.6. ISO2000.

Vivaldo, you got some great ones with this individual. Loved those feet in this one.

Awesome BG and exposure...See you really struggled to get SS even at ISO 2000

Vivaldo:

This angle really shows off that amazing tail well.
Interesting how the primaries on the near wing appear so blunted. Probably just the angle we are viewing them at.

There is a fine sharpening halo along the belly.

It is amazing to me that they can actually fly with this tail. I wonder how often it gets caught or hung up in trees and bushes.

Have enjoyed your series.

Cheers

Much better on the reds :) And another killer pose and BKGR. I love the position of the feet in this one. You were blessed with this opportunity and made the most of it.
