    A few were landing and flying around this morning.
    A bigger crop than I would like but I did not want to add anything.
    I got a bunch of decent flight shots, but they are fast and a lot were at
    the edge of frame.

    Shows the bird off nicely Dan but looks a bit soft all round.

    I like the pose. The repost does look a hair sharper. More room below would be nice.

    Neat flight pose but harsh light and the background does not add ... Looks like a parking lot...
