Great shots. Always nice to capture an endangered species and the BIF is neat - I like how you captured the detail of the underside of the wings.

I like how you got really low for the first picture and how it looks like you are up in the air flying with the 2nd. Really nice!

Thanks Parker , I think "Eye-level " is the best with wildlife . However #2 was shot from the 24th floor.....I cheated a little .lol
