Terrific images Dave. I was in FL for a week and only saw one snail kite---didn't even know it until I got back to the hotel and looked at the images of the distant 'harrier' I shot at 1600 iso waaaaay into dusk.

Now I'm waaaay jealous!!

Nice work.

Thanks Johhny

These are really excellent, all wonderfully sharp and detailed. Those diving shots really do convey a sense of speed.

Great work here, the diving shots are to die for! The look and the angle of 3 almost seems impossible. Good stuff.

Thanks Tim

Beautiful shots. Not seen any photos of this raptor before. Thanks for sharing them with us.

I can't pick a favorite - - # 4 in dive is beautiful, but so are the rest....

Thanks so much for the comments Judd

Awesome captures Dave! Great work on the dive, hard shot to get. I just got back from Florida myself, the weather is a little nicer than it is in Wisconsin!

Doug


Florida is awesome for birds, what area/s were you in Doug? Thanks for the kind words!

Is he in a dive or is the image tilted? In most dives the bird would pull in the wings, and shorten the neck. Just a thought.
