Thank you Geoff,
I tracked it in for a few seconds so I had plenty of time to get a focus point on the head

A great shot Morris. The slight motion of the wings puts more emphasis on the sharp head ~ Ron

Thank you Ron,
It's amazing that they blurred at 1/1000. These birds can move!

Thank you Michael,
No info on the band. If I get something close enough I'll check

Thank you Mike,
I think it had to look at me to avoid crashing

Perfect timing Morris and you captured a dramatic in-flight shot here. It's tough to get the head so sharp with the wings showing motion and you nailed it.

Thank you Mike,
I think the hardest part of getting a shot like this is having the luck to have the bird fly directly at you
