Default Neat trailcam pic

This is definitely a unique shot. Was expecting elk but thought some might enjoy.IMG_2218.jpg

Pretty neat. Looks like it is just hovering, or floating there.

I know. Makes no sense at all. Just a cheap stealthcam too. Floating blue bird. Weird.
But 100% legit. Just a freak shot.

That is a shot of a lifetime. If you tried to set that up you'd never get it. Thanks for sharing!

Only thing I can think of is he was on the ground. And this is him on his takeoff. No idea how a cam that usually catches the butt end of a moose came so clear at that fraction of a second.
I told wife I could take a million pics of a million birds and prob never get that again.

Another pic off same cam. So you can see it was a fluke with that cheap cam. It does pic up long distance but movement at night especially not.IMG_2213.jpg

Some bird fly with a "stride", taking hard/fast wing strokes and tucking their wings in a "gliding" position between strokes.
