very nice stop action of this bird in flight...nicely done #10088410Michelle Alton April 13, 2012
Great inflight capture, Jeff. I have NEVER accomplished one--but the pesky GBH has now returned to our pond (that he DECIMATED last year). Perhaps I can succeed at capturing him in flight when I scream and jump up and down "in his face!" [laughing] #10088416Jeff Robinson April 13, 2012
