Jim, I was one the phone with Artie yesterday, and he told me he had just spoken to you, and you had found these guys. I'll be there in December and really hope to get this species. A stunning capture. Love the pose and background. You nailed this one!

Perfect in every way, Jim. Especially cool that the talons are apart from one another. Super background and wing position.

Very good stop-action and I think this needs the vertical format for the dive.

Jim, you are just killing me here. So bummed that I didn't get to shoot these when I was down last fall. I do think the previous ones looked a tad sharper.

The claws mimic the beak and that works the most for me on this one Jim. I can just feel those things digging into by back! :)
