Hyacinth Macaw

Minnesota Zoo

He was flying in for an exhibition. I shot him faster than the following hawk to freeze him better in flight.

Really frozen by the short exposure yet I can feel the motion. -Gerald

Certainly a beautiful bird and the shadow is a nice touch. It's really difficult to capture a bird in flight in a setting like this one, so, well done. Regards, Michael

OMG I've been totally wanting one of these! Or a cockatoo. Is this lovely bird yours?

He's just showing off for the camera, notice that grin on his face! I love that shadow he's casting on the ground. Paul
