Jim, these are incredibly detailed views of wings. In particular, you have shown wing-warping. That was the key to the Wright Brothers success at mastering controlled flight. Human aviators will see these shots differently than most others. Thank you.
Thank you David
The raptor handlers were explaining how the birds steer by bending their wings.
I loved watching them in action.
Glad you enjoyed, and thanks for the explanation.

Great set of images!!!
Except #1- I finally figured out it was shot through a chainlink fence. While the Owl is great the fence is a distraction.
