    Hi Allen. It will likely be another month before we see any of these up here! As you know, these are tough shots to get and you did very well with this one! Good head-to-tail sharpness in nice light and against a clean background. Interesting (to me, at least ) that we can see how the legs are tucked up tight against the body while in flight.

    Again, really hard to get a shot like this, wonderfully done. Thanks for pointing out the legs, Steve.

    Excellent shot Allen did you shoot this image this year - I get mixed up with the USA it is so big you seem to have differing seasons at differing times of year. Your focus is just about spot on and I like the background.
