Well, that's a little piece of terrific. Great shot.

 

[Derrel]

Wow--a beautiful specimen too! Not all ratty-winged and near the end of its life!

 

[Arkanjel Imaging]

Great shot! Really nice light there.

 

[benlonghair]

Very nice. This was natural light?

 

[Buckster]

Very nice. This was natural light?

Yep, it was a spur of the moment shot in natural light.

I was driving when I saw it flutter by and land on the tree, so I pulled over, got out of my truck, camera in hand, and managed to squeeze off about 5 frames as I approached and positioned. This was the last before a blurred shot of it flitting up and away.
