Bird Photo Competition 3 2012 : Entry Number 182

A classic flight shot, capturing a well-posed bird with great sharpness and colours despite difficult light conditions.

Thank you so much to the judges for recognizing my photo for the Mark of Excellence category....it is much appreciated. I live in Los Angeles and shoot waterfowl and shorebirds at Marina del Rey, California. My equipment is a Nikon D7000 and 90% of the time I shoot with a 55-300 lens. Thank you again for the honor.
