Shot these in Patagonia, AZ when I was there last month. I was glass to get two in the frame, an adult and an immature, but they aren't the sharpest. There was a group of four flying around searching for a the mid-afternoon snack.

What a great catch Michele. I lived in Aridzona for over 8 years. Never owned a camera down there. :)

Never owned a camera there?! You'd have been a busy boy! I should say "even busier boy" seeing that you're nearing 20, 000 posts soon!

Yeah, there was a group flying around which was beautiful to watch and in the thrid I was planning on shooting the adult but when I saw the immature in the viewfinder as well I was lucky to be able to get a couple off.
