I'iwi on the move (Vestiaria coccinea)

A very heavy crop of an I'iwi flying toward the camera. For a large, nectivorous finch it flies awfully fast, and this was definitely a lucky shot

Very well done with this shot flanken. There's very few images of this bird in the Gallery, and you are the only one to manage a flight shot.

I'll add it to the Opus article later.

Thanks for sharing this with us.
