Always a tough bird to catch in flight. Their loud rattling call, usually the first thing you notice when they are around, sounds like laughter to a photographer. They zip along when patrolling their territory and have a knack for staying just out range for a photo. Thus they have the last laugh more often than not! I managed to get this one shot out of a couple of dozen or so tries as I tracked him while he flew back and forth, “laughing” the whole time.

these birds in flight are very difficult shots…kudos for getting it!
