Birds are difficult to photograph, especially moving. You have done a great job of keeping the head in focus. (voted earlier)

Cool shot. Has a very illustrative quality to it, like something from an old nature book.

Stunning BiF, love the feather detail and the head/eye and feet are in perfect focus with a hint of movement on the wings.

The bird itself is amazing, but I'm not crazy about it's disembodied floating in the nothingness.

I loved watching these guys dance when I lived in Florida. I rarely got to see them fly. Beautiful light on the eye/face, lovely detail.
