"Flyover"

I'm usually absorbed in the intricacies of  painting the land and water around me at Lake Erie Metropark when the momentary opportunity for a great bird photo happens. In the periphery of the scene there is suddenly motion."Hurry... grab camera. Lens cap off. Switch on. Aim. Focus." Nearly always, by this point, the object of all this excitement has flown too far away for a good photo. But THIS time, I was ready.
