This is supposed to be a common avian species, ranging widely in our islands. But I seldom see it, much less photograph it well. To catch it in the air is one of my obsessions, given the difficulty of acquiring the bird during its short flight from tree to tree.
Each time I see one foraging in a treetop, I wait with full anticipation, hoping that it flies towards my position. This morning, I was fortunate to be granted my wish. With the plain sky as background, my BIF workhorse had no trouble catching it in the middle of its undulating flight.
