Like Al ^^^ I'm just about speechless! Breathtaking images, Jim. The copulating snail kites are also quite moving. A very special moment between these two birds to have captured.

Fan-freakin-tastic series Jim! All the shots are amazing, but I am particularly enamoured with the barred owl shot and snail kite images #4 and #6. Well done sir.

#2 for the rarity & #4 for the light. They all look over saturated.
