I am always surprised at the images I get and the ones I don't. One thing about wildlife photography is that you have no control over your subjects. Maybe they are there and maybe not. Maybe they fly in from this direction or maybe the opposite. Maybe it is sunny and maybe..... We did not get to select our viewing spots or I would have been on the other side of the flooded field. So you take what you get and try to learn and adapt the next encounter. Every once and awhile you get lucky; there is light, the birds are there and they come in from the best direction. I hope that you like this one.... Please blow it up to see the image as I intended it.

Garrett, I did view it full screen, and what a wonderful capture with the lens it is, you said it perfectly in your narrative.

Long before the white man and long before the wheel, when the dark green forests were too silent to be real. Light foot 1967

Garrett - When capturing birds in flight focus on the eyes - you sure did. Wow! Thad

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine The Earth without art is just 'eh'.

I can see why you are pleased and proud of this one Garrett.
The lighting is so good and it seems to be enjoying its ability to fly and glide.
I am still curious as to what lens you use.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

Garrett this is an amazing shot, in full you can see such even his nostrils on his beak, just love the way they control their wing feathers, shear determination in his eye. I agree, I've taken many many animal shots and lucky if I only get one.
