@Michael Skorulski: Thank you, Michael. It was beautiful against that bright blue sky. Not sure if I could get a good shot.
@Ina: Thanks!

I wish, for your sake, it could have been an Eagle ... but you captured this black beauty very well!

@Judy: I would have loved it to be an eagle, also. Have yet to see one in flight like this! Thank you for your comment.

Impressive birds aren't they. It looks like a hawk of some sort to me, but I really don't know.

@Laurie: Yes, they are impressive! Wish I knew these large ones well enough to identify them.
@Teresa Durães: Thanks, Teresa.

Great capture - his black color contrasts wonderfully with that beautiful blue sky.
