Nice catch. I get a lot of shots of these guys like this...hard to find them not sitting on man-made objects. They really like perching on wires while looking over fields. Looks like you had the sunlight perfect though.

Good one. I see them on wires, too, but they fly as soon as the car begins to slow down.
