I had been hoping this bird was coming in to land. When they do it can be pretty dramatic. They tend to pull their wings back and ‘slide’ along to a dead stop. Makes for a great action shot.
However, a slow fly by is still OK. It’s early in the season.


Incredibly graceful in flight! which I find surprising.
Very agile and can glide for huge distances. Just about the largest North American bird. Condor wings longer by a hair 🤣
