This was taken in Yellowstone's Tower creek. It was spring and the water volume coming down was huge. This female and her mate were moving upstream and had to take wing to pass this waterfall.

As Jenaya mentioned below, this one looks much better large.

It is amazing that they can deal with waterfalls like that. I think you captured the action really well. I like the water and the bird.
