Excellent action image. Legs extended, wings splayed for landing, bill open make this special. Thank you for sharing.

[Grace Scalzo]

How nice! He looks alarmed, adding some drama . The background is perfect with the greenery. Perfectly sharp.

Cracker image Jim, love the natural framing and the awesome pose. Super stuff!

[Daniel Cadieux]

I love the framing by the BG vegetation. The calling landing pose is quite dynamic too. Super nice!

[Stu Bowie]

Hi Jim, well you timed this capture well enough between the foliage, and how sharp did you nail this. Excellent show of the protruding tongue.

[Bob Serling]

Beautiful! Not much to add except to second everything that's been said. Hey, you ought to think about specializing in flight photography. Just kidding of course, and I learned a ton from your Bolsa Chica workshop a few years ago.

[David Cowling]

Everything good already been said. Brilliant!

[Sanjeev Aurangabadkar]

Fantastic BIF image with open beak and visible tongue! I like the comp and the warm light!

[Troy Lim]

Good BIF shot, the calling in flight is great.

I will echo the others comments.
Love how the bill is open and the visible tongue.
The foliage nicely frames the limpkin.
Good one,
Gail
