I was photographing hawks yesterday down in the Sulphur Springs Valley when I heard jet engines, looked overhead and found this.

Nice catch Ned, with these guys I guess you are on your way to having a "Big Year".  This is a reference to a movie about "Bird watching", if you haven't seen it, I think you would enjoy it.

Wow, look at the -135's flaps.

[Ned Harris]

Harvey: I have not yet seen the movie but plan to watch it sometime soon. I have several birding friends who did big years.
