Lucky for you and lucky for all of us. What a great, sharp capture "on the fly" so to speak. Enjoyed the story of his second attempt...but we didn't hear the ending! Did she say "yes"? Super desktop as well... nice neutral background with great interest in the center.
It must have been 'male jitters' that caused him to miss his landing. lol Lucky for you is right! What a fantastic shot! Isn't he just lovely? He had nothing to worry about but his performance.
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

I have not had time to do any commenting tonight but had to stop by and investigate Robert chasing chicks. LOL
I should have known it would be a wonderful bird shot. Supremely beautiful and I am glad he missed the first landing and enabled you to get this capture. It is breathtaking.
Pure quality presentation Robert! Marvelous fella caught in motion. His wing span is beautiful to see, stream lined body and bright eye. His colouring is quite handsome, and I'm sure his chick will dig him. Thanks for sharing this magnificent bird in flight :^>

Love the title. Does your wife know about this? Ha! Grrrrreat bird capture. That right wing of his is marvelous in it's detail and translucency. A keeper.

Robert, you are a master of animal photography. I don't normally comment because you have quite a following, but I have to tell you that this picture is phenomenal. Most photographers would pass this by because of the cloudy day but precisely because of that the lighting is subdued, allowing you to bring out the midrange of brightness levels, getting what almost looks like an x-ray of the layers of feathers and the bone of the far wing. Bravo! It went immediately to my desktop.
