Very nice shots I think you helped me with a bird I.D I was out sat at a state park with my uncle and got some shots of I do believe the northern flicker woodpecker ... These are great flight shots considering the size of bird and hold great detail and sharpness you did a fine job on these thanks so much for sharing :)
