I love this one, Sid. It's really a beautiful capture.

Thanks Mike.
No nip, close but no cigar.
But a few minutes later a Red shoulder and Red tail did tangle.
Happy trails

I've never seen a tangle between these two, Paul. It must have been neat to watch. Nice capture.

Impressive Shalu. Shooting a very difficult flight target with a non native lens, plus using a teleconverter is quite an accomplishment.

I'm going to let it slide this time, but don't let it happen again.

Can you guys/gals slow down this thread for the elderly! I can't keep up!

This guy was posted in the portrait thread on a cactus. He left the cactus for a shot posted earlier looking straight at
me, then here something caught interest on the ground. It was like oblivious to my presence.

Really fantastic crow shot again, Mike!

Haven't checked on the kites for a while, they are still around.
