Nice flight shot. The detail shows well in the larger image. Looks like a slight halo on the top of the near wing. Could be my monitor, but may be worth a second look. I think you could bump the brightness up a bit without risking the neck or wing feather detail. Thanks for sharing these. I had never seen one before.

Nice flight shot of an interesting bird. Good detail and focus.

Sweet shot, Ken. A much better answer than I can usually give to that question. I like the way the light falls on this and the obviously aging plumage.
