Common Nighthawk (Chordeiles minor)

This is not as sharply focused as I would like. The bird was quite a distance away, I was handholding and there was nothing in the vicinity I could use as a support platform, and I had to heavily crop the image to fill the frame. In any event, this was a first for me so I thought I would share it despite the fact the image quality is less than stellar.

Very well done on your new tick Donald. You'll now see them all over the place;) and will surely get plenty more opportunities for another picture.

I'm still jealous about this one! Still looking for one of these here. I think you did great holding that big lens.
