YOU NAILED THIS ONE
First one I ever saw flew directly overhead while up in UP of Mich around memorial day. Have since seen a few in Florida.
Really enjoy watching them in flight w/that great wingspan.

Happy Shooting

Over 600,000 of these beautiful birds are beginning to continue their migration from the Platte River between Grand Island and Lexingtong Nebraska! Thousands have flown over our house in the last couple of days but they are to high to get a capture of them! Your capture is very beautiful as are all the images in your gallery! :-) k #9344072
