    Great timing to get this, Jim. Manual a good option. Maybe a touch more selective sharpening on the kite's head.

    The bands to the open beak more than make the shot. It being a snail kite only adds to it.

    Great action Jim. I particularly like the fact that the eyes of both bids are visible.

    Awesome! Wondering if any info could be detected from the band on the kite?
