My goal today was to photograph a decent well framed, and focused bird in flight. I’m also trying out some new settings in my Wildlife program setting. I hope to be ready for the bird festivals this year and early next. I am happy with this shot!

PP- recovery -he was flying toward the sun, clarity, a little smart sharpening, and slight crop off the top and left side, resized.
