Sora " An oldie but a favorite"
Sora
Southern, California
After seeing my good friend Doug Browns outstanding image of a Meadowlark in flight I had to post my all time favorite
flight shot I don't think there is many of these around and for the birders that know this species enjoy....:)
Nikon D200 AFS 600 F4 1.4 TC
Thanks For Looking
Jim
I'm pretty certain I've never seen a flight shot of a Sora Jim! You've got to be very good to make the most of extremely rare opportunities such as this one, and you've definitely done that here. Congrats!
Upcoming Workshops: Bosque del Apache 2019, Ecuador 2020 (details coming soon)

Very impressive, James. I would love to know what the story is behind this shot; how you pulled this off. I can only lift my hat here. Well done.
Jim, We heard of a sighting at the Meadowlands but never actually got to see it let alone photograph it. Getting one in flight is spectacular, esp. w/ such nice detail! Congrats to you- well done:)
Killer shot my friend!!!:eek:

The area I was shooting was in the upper Newport Back Bay , Newport Bch. Calif. it is known for Clapper Rails and Sora. I've seen numerous Clapper Rails but not that many Sora.:)
Thanks Again For Comments.
You are the master, all of your images are very impressive. Thanks for sharing your talent.
James, not knowing the species, it sounds like you have nailed a beauty. Good flying posture, and is separated from the blue BG very well. Congrats.
Looks like you got a rare beauty.. congrats Bhai..
I don't even have a static image of the bird, let alone a flight shot. Good one. ;)
