Thanks Wolf. If you'd like I might be able to make a much larger one for
you.

Thanks, that would be nice. OTOH, I just resized the picture to
1680x1270, ie, horizontally it's equal to my monitor's size, and
centered it on the d/t. I use PMView for this, it automatically
"resamples" so as to reduce the softening, etc, that occurs when
enlarging an image.

Looks just lovely!

I just saw a repeat of it tonight on KLCS. Absolutely fascinating. I had
observed them flying around above my lawn apparently chasing and eating bugs
but of course you can never see it in hi-def slo motion unless you see the
action on TV. Whoever filmed that was mighty good.

The whole show was just great.
