Amazing shot considering how fast these guys move around.

How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

Great shot Jody. I agree that these birds are difficult to photograph in flight due to the size, speed and erratic flight patterns.

Stunning... all I get when I try to shoot these guys in flight are blurry little blue streaks
