This bird was buzzing a little blue heron that had taken over its favorite perch.

Killer Ron!!  I would be tickled to get a frame like this.  Sharp, well exposed, great wing position, open beak, perfect catch light and a smooth green BG. The only thing I might switch would be the top and bottom ratios of your composition moving the bird higher in the frame. Very nice, again.

Superb inflight, Ron!
I like the wing position and open bill. A tough one to capture for sure ...

Excellent wing position and the open beak adds interest, Ron.

Great catch, Ron. Such a tough bird to get in any way.
