Not the shot I was after but thought the pose was peculiar enough to post.
Thanx for looking

The background light on this is really nice. A different color view. Great shot.

Brian, I really like this one as it is not your typical flight shot. It may not be what you set out to get, but the BG, light and birds pose is great. Nice going!

Excellent. There seem to be endless variations of wing positions they have as they come in to land. Fun to study the shapes.

What intensity this one has. Beautiful colors and a great flight shot. I really missed not being able to go this year.
