Great pics! (nice camera). Have you ever watched a pair face-off and go into a vertical climb (while spinning slowly almost beak-to-beak) for about fifty feet? I’ve wondered what that means.
Thanks, folks, I’m ready to live in the yard until first frost. 2 cameras used here, the 1st shot is from a Panasonic FZ30, the others from an old Olympus C2100UZ, only 2 MP, but the best critter camera ever made. It just won’t make big pictures. The early airshows are to impress mates, later when the chicks are flying, they are from sheer exuberance, it must be a blast to fly like they do. Amazing thing, they just flew across the Gulf of Mexico, non stop, to get here. That is a big puddle of water!
