I've caught a few in-flight before...but this is the first time I ever got one sneaking so as not to be photographed...he was looking for the female who was calling him

Good job! You took advantage of an opportunity (ain't love grand?) to take some nice shots. #1 is very good IMO.

Those birds can stay like that for hours. It's pretty rare to catch them in flight. I've got them a few times in flight but only because I've spend many a day watching them with their heads sticking up out of the pickle weed like in your picture.

Thanks Toment...so glad you liked the shots...and thanks for taking the time to let me know! They are the best at camouflage...that's why it's so difficult to spot them

Great captures, I have as yet to even see one, although they have probably seen me. vz
