That is a dart -- no doubt.
Nice.

Excellent!! The pano crop emphasizes the GBH's laid out body position. :D

Harvey, From your title I was expecting a Green Heron. This is sure a glorious capture of a dynamo in flight!!! See nary an artifact. It's perfectly sharp and to the point!!! :D 8)

I kept looking for panning evidence until I checked your shutter speed. :D

The title and crop are great. The image isn't bad either. :shock:

Wow, I don't think I've ever seen a GBH stretch out his neck that far in flight. Good choice in the crop.

Neat concept, title and photo. Certainly descriptive of how it looks. Now, what was the target?

Harvey,

Very neat. Looks like Venice rookery to me, except he's not carrying any nest material.

Jim
Enjoy viewing

Let the yard games begin. What really cracks me up is that I've seen so many crane shots lately, I was almost expecting a different head. This is a real stretch.....great title and great shot.
