Granted some of the backgrounds aren't the best but I think the bird turned out good thanks for looking.

Very nice. These birds are so darn quick and people shy.

There will be days when you get the shot(s) you missed days, months or years before.

You kept the focus while in flight and that is very hard to do, these are more than a decent set :).
