    We see quite a few of these, but I've never been able to get a good photo. Love seeing yours!

  4. Gorgeous how its wingtips are distinctly splayed to catch the air.

  5. TexWisGirl, thank you. Such and odd point of view for the bird, too. Head on is not the usual raptor angle.

  7. Crafty, thank you. To get that kind of sharpness in a moving subject is not easy to do. I'm thrilled so many viewers have appreciated that.

  17. Nature's foostep, Springman and Pat, thank you very much for the views and comments. I love the raptors. This may sound like an 'ah duh' thing to say. But, I do know a few people who don't. They only like the little birds, the ones they regard as pretty. But, what beauty in the power of that flight!
