I know the quality is sub-par, but I was out in my yard trying to get a shot of a couple of birds when I heard a Blackhawk.

Looked up and just had time to snap a couple of shots as this bird flew by.

Nice, I suppose it does count as a whirly bird. I've ran into them before (on the ground, and watched them leave) and gotten some photos, pretty cool crew manning them as well.

First time seeing one, and I guess I was surprised to see it flying over Miami!

Damn, those were some nice shots! Great job with the slower shutter speed catching the motion of the blades.
