    Second sighting for me, first pictures, not as good as I would have wanted, but fair for now, very happy.
    Taken during BPN's reunion this morning at Wakodahatchee, where we had a very nice turnout. Alfred counted 100 feet and divided by two :D
    Followed by a nice lunch at Applebees.

    Model: Canon EOS-1D Mark IV
    Lens (mm): 400 (100-400 L, the lens that's not sharp and doesn't focus)
    ISO: 400
    Aperture: 5.6
    Shutter: 1/2500
    hand held, cropped from horizontal

    Happy Superbowl everyone!!!

    WoW. Excellent image with great light and perfect wing position!
    I surly did not see this beast today.

    Good to see you & AL today along with the rest of BPN attendees.

    YESSSSS, the male :) That's his nickname because he is rarely seen.
    I was delighted to see one!

    Thanks

    Beautiful flight shot. I like the color of the sky, goes very well with the yellow eye.
    Great detail in the feathers.

    What a great addition to your collection....I'm jealous. When we were there he buzzed by at a distance.

    Love the light cast over the head and eye Fabs, and good sharp underwing detail too. Well captured.

    Very nice and sharp image. Love the wing pose.
    Maybe a bit too much shadow adjustment for the left side underwing.
