Amazing capture of the Little Egret, RAL! I love this spread wing shot.

WOW, RAL...what a magnificent close-up flight capture of the Blue-throated Bee-eater!

Greatly appreciate your comments, Mike.

Truly a wonderful capture of the Tricolored Heron, Paul! I'm always amazed how you manage to make everyone of your photos so unique looking.

Thank you for that kindly compliment Mike.
Nature is truly wondrous and always fascinating to observe.. Happy trails.

First of all, a big welcome to the POTN forums, shamlin! Your first post is definitely an outstanding capture of these two hawks about to engage in an air battle! This is such a cool shot! Looking forward to seeing many more of your photographs.

Thank you LD. Here's another from the archives. It's one of my favorite flight shots - Long-tailed Ducks off Beavertail Point in Jamestown RI.

New to the forum. Here's a shot I took in February using my Canon M6 Mk II with my Canon EF 400mm F4 DO lens. I was watching the hawk on the left through the viewfinder when the hawk on the right flew into the frame. I was at Sachuest NWR in Middletown RI.

Two fine captures! Welcome aboard. Sachuest is a great place. I haven't been over to Beavertail yet.

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