My friend the juvie took a short flight just to impress me, and I took full advantage of that.

Fab, this has enough color to be an adult I think???? Nicely done, whichever.

You know, I was thinking the same thing when I compared it to the stills of the juvie. He flew away and then this one came around and left again, and I assumed it was the same. It must have been the elusive adult!!!!!!!

Fab, Fab. Good position and lighting of the head. Last week I met him several times walking on Berm Road and took several shots in flight (haven't looked at the images yet). I believe this is a young adult, perhaps our former juvie friend who has matured.

I have yet to see one of these so keep them coming - especially if they are as good as this one.
