Works for me, nice moment you captured there. Great shot!

Here's one on a similar theme, a Western Sandpiper coming in for touch down:

Hi all.

Here is an Egret coming in for a landing at the Venice Rookery in Venice, Florida. Just at sunrise so I liked the hint of pink on his neck.

Here's another one from out on the coast last week. Was walking out through the scrub pines and dunes when this Northern Harrier came in fast and flew right past me in the evening light.

Had quite an afternoon, spent some time watching and practising my BIF with Pied Oystercatchers.
Not too sure how good these look as I am away from home and am without my "normal" computing system.

Hi Soundbyte.

In the first one it looks like you did a good job training them in synchronized flying. All three look just fine.

To encourage fledging, the adult would touch down on the nest then immediately take off without releasing the prey it was carrying.

The adult began circling, appearing to demonstrate flight to the watching young.
