Very interesting analogy. It would not surprise me Yves. Love the wings in this shot with the head down hunting.

Thank you for the comment Debra. This summer I do more stand still photo shoot. I select a good spot and stay there for half an hour or more. I like that very much and it pays off.

Very interesting capture, Yves.

Thanks Heather

Description
I had a great opportunity to photo shoot a northern harrier hunting at my favorite marsh. Out of a 5 minutes shooting here is a sequence of three. The guy comes from the right for a second run on that spot. I suspect the wings placed that way is to produce shadow to better see through the shallow water.
