Your usual awesomeness, Nate. A tough bird to catch in flight (for me anyways..) :toast:

Very nice handheld flight capture, the smaller birds like this are exceedingly difficult to get right..
Great POV, detail, pose, comp, and eye contact! :toast:

Not an easy image to get as these birds are fast and finicky. Nice colors and background is good habitat
