About	My first attempt at capturing one of these beauties in flight. They are very fast and agile flyers! Fun to watch. Photographed on May 25, 2005 at Fletcher Wildlife Garden in Ottawa.

Thanks again Shane! After attempting these shots that I realized just how quick these little guys really are!

Nice shot Pierre. You captured this little guy well. Even with all the movement you froze the crucial part... the eye. It makes for a very dramatic and active shot. Excellent!

Hi Mary,

Thanks! I'm hoping to attempt this kind of shot again, but with a faster exposure to freeze the wings. Not easy!!! :))

Hi Todd,

You're right... I didn't think of it this way and it makes sense. These little birds really do remind me of fighter jets.

Nicely presented, Pierre. This is a difficult shot to attempt. You did well.

Pierre,

A difficult subject indeed. Notice how the head remains perfectly calm while the rest of the body and wings distort to perform the acrobatics these little "fighter planes" perform. Esential for hawking insects in mid-air.
