Nice ones Rick! I tried for this species last weekend, but it would not cooperate like it did for you here.

Very nicely done Rick - well executed against a perfect background. Do they stay in your area all summer?

Hi JH,

They breed here in the Ottawa area so they stay pretty much the whole summer.

Well I am envious. They just pass through here very quickly while migrating.

Great shots Rick. I've only ever seen one of these a couple years ago and was able to get a shot to document the sighting. Yours is a much better picture.
