Wing Span

In this one You can get an idea of the size of these suckers ! I've found Morning is the best time to catch them while they spread out their wings to warm up. They will hold their wings out for a long time giving you plenty of time for a good shot. Maybe next year I'll have a nice sharp long zoom :-)

Cool Sal. I have yet to catch one up close enough for a good shot. Almost as if the bird is trying to hari kari itself. lol
