    Ken, good inflight posture with raised wings. Sharp, and very well separated from the BG. Well captured.

    Thanks for the comments, I would love to have a video of us trying this from a moving vehicle. Most people think we are mad,but it can work sometimes.

    Beautiful color combination, wing position and the bird angle. What a bird!
