I’ve noted on more than one occasion a bird in the air with a nice wingspan. He soars and glides so effortlessly. It's enjoyable to watch as those wings beat and he rises through the air or simply floats across the blue sky…. He has a grace and a beauty I’ll never possess.
The picture I’ve attached to this post is not mine, I didn’t have my camera handy the last time I saw this bird in flight, but I wanted to include a photo. If you are an astute observer, you will note that this bird is a vulture.
Interesting, is it not, that such a bird as this, one who up close would be regarded as ugly (in the very least) is quite amazing when really, truly watched.

I, like you, love to watch the birds fly, too. They are truely amazing, even the ugliest of birds. Makes you wonder where they are going and where they have been.
Yeah I've noticed several small hawks lately too, those creatures are wonderful :)
I agree that watching a lone hunter (or even scavenger) is cool, but I also love to watch a flock zip around through the sky without benefit of a professional choreographer. Or maybe they do have a Choreographer.
