A couple from the other day.  This guy was hovering over the tarmac for at least 15 minutes before i left.  Wonder if it was training?

Did you walk down on the dock at all?

No i had the little ones with me on the other side of Harbor watching planes land.  Trust me after he was hovering for 5-10 minutes i really wish i could have just run across the street (Not an easy task by the way) to get some shots that weren't of his rear end.  I also noticed as i was leaving that there would have been a killer shot just to the west (perfect lighting) through some palm trees.  Dang those kids are cramping me style...
