Barrow, Alaska - June
A long slow approach was made. Wind and light direction noted to predict flight direction. This and another male kept chasing each other off a pond allowing for several beautiful flight opportunities.

A species that I would dearly love to get...nice light and good sense of habitat. Well done Matthew.
Cheers from the Canadian west coast,

Perfect shooting angle, nice up wing pose. Great to have one in its habitat, Matthew.

Hey Matthew,

This probably is a perfect example of the ultra perfect angle of a flight shot!
