I think this speeding bullet was choking on a Bug that he just caught! :)
Wow, great catch of a fast little projectile.
Man, oh man, the king of flight images strikes again! This is a really fine image, Jody. I love the eye level angle, open mouth, and the lighting on some of the iridescent feathers. Can you share with us how much you needed to crop this image (just capturing it is fantastic, but I'm still curious). Great work.
That's not even fair! ;) Great work again...and immaculate timing.
Very nice image. Not sure I could move fast enough to get one of these..even if the camera can!
I was trying to get one of these guys in flight today with zero luck. Great job.
Great job, very innusual image.
Just a beautiful image!
Hi Jody!
I thoroughly enjoy all your images, and I always look forward to you next treat & inspiration. As usual, this one does not disappoint! I love the sharpness and beautiful color, great backfround, of a very difficult BIF. The open beak and the tongue detail in flight is simply on another level. Struggling to offer a suggestion ... maybe the shadow line on the far wing looks slightly unnatural??
How can you follow this bullet with your 400mm ???
Absolutely fantastic !!!

Thanks all!
definitely...hats off!
So cool. Well done Jody.
