BIRD IN FLIGHT ONLY -- share your BIF photos here

Hi all. I've been thinking lately that I'm not a fan of the segregated bird threads. Seems to me it simply creates an added layer of effort posting and viewing. I suppose there is merit in the fact that flight shots often require more skill and should be in their own class but I'm thinking most of us are not thinking that way when we post. My appreciation really is primarily of the bird and more of one of thankfulness to the poster for sharing what is so enjoyable.

I hereby propose that we just post to the other thread but of course I believe in democracy, so what ya-all think? :)

I missed focus slightly but it's a miracle I even got the shot. ;)

Jack

I was just looking out my window and saw a bird with huge wings flying in the distance - Quickly grabbed the camera just in case it would get closer and I got lucky. My first decent heron pictures. I don't think I've every seen such a large bird around here and wonder were it came from.

Nice try Jack. A bit late in the day to suggest merging the two threads. Look what democracy has led us to in the UK and the USA.......
