I made a mistake. Although this bird is certainly common in Mexico and Central America, this particular bird was shot in California, USA. Sorry about that.

That's a marvellous flight landing picture Jim! An excellent job you've done with the exposure settings too.

I think the reason your thumbnail isn't showing is due to the file size you've uploaded at over 6000 px. I usually upload at 3500px, but have done one at 4500 px without a problem. I think pictures need to be under 5000px.
