Mr. Goodwin: You're right! It was the right time and place! @T4magritte: Thank you!

No worries at all. I should have had my gear ready and am glad at least one of us got the shot. It was just cool to see it and hear it call. It was also on the best side of the road for that sunset! :-)

Thanks! I felt bad because it flew away right when I was done getting pictures, and I didn't give you a chance.

This turned out wonderfully. Now I'm mad that I didn't get my camera out! ;-)
