Great in flight shot of theis Monk Parakeet. Head and eye look a slight bit soft, but this awesome none the less.

As a big fan of quakers (I have one sitting on my head right now) I would have to say that this is a beautiful photograph. I have never seen one fly in the wild, but I know that they move fast!!! Nice shot.

Jim, this is insane!! I know how fast these guys fly...fortunately with all of the screaming they give you advance warning when they are coming in.

Great Work!
