Thanks very much Mike and Levina ! Funny, I know people that won’t even shoot against a white background. Personally, I’ve always liked the high-key look. Thanks again !

So do I. Even gulls look good in images like that!

UFO

Could not find this in Sibley's Field Guide To Birds.
I suspect it is some kind of a raptor...a giant vulture, perhaps.

LOL! Definitely a crazy bird of some kind!

That is hilarious... indeed a great capture of this odd bird!

Jokes aside, is this a common appearance or just a one-off?

Thank you, PinholeR5. This is not a real common sight, but I see them every so often.

Fan-tailed Yellow Monowing. ( look it up, )

I did, Steve. Who'd of ever guessed? I hear they can be dangerous at times.

Glad you got a kick out of it, Mark! Every once in awhile, we've got to get a laugh on the forums.
