Does she have clearance from the tower? :)
Love to see her all stretched out like this…just beautiful!

I think she is on combat ready standby…. No tower clearance needed…. The male wasn’t happy she was there….

An unusual pose, at least from what I’ve seen. Nice detail on the bird, but the thing that really helps the image is the very nice smooth background.
