Took these on the Cibolo Creek this morning. I spent an hour trying to get a good shot of one flying. This was the best I could get. Taken with a F4 300mm.

Pretty good BugIF shot you got, at least, it looks that way on my iPhone. The meadowhawk is quite nice as Ken pointed out.

thanks for the comments. I took quite a few of the meadowhawk just trying to get the focus right. 63 year old eyes work kind of slow.
