Freedom Friday! This gorgeous male provided me with an amazing morning recently. Most of his time was spent simply sitting and observing – probably just wanting to take a break from the wife and kids. 😉 He did however feel the need to stretch his wings at one point and gave me a couple of nice flybys.
As a male, his wingspan was probably “only” about six feet across but impressive nevertheless. Females are larger and could have a span of up to 7 1/2 feet!?
