Amazing photo!
We used to have one of these where we grew up in northern wisconsin. The first time we had seen it, waiting for the schoolbus, we were terrified. They are huge. But it veered away from us while we all just stared in disbelief. Truly amazing creature. Like a javelin with wings. Every year i see it or its family, its like seeing a childhood friend.
