Is it supposed to be invisible, no picture shows?
Edit: Nevermind, it's how I have my browser security configured which has never got along with that image host.
Here's Razz's pic...
(Canadian Goose In Jetstream)
That's one fast goose!
Nice one Razz.
Someone has an eye for a stunning photograph.
how does one tell it's Canadian - or am I just showing my goose ingorance!
Looks suspiciously like a Photoshop job to me...

Photshop or not, the creator still has an eye for a good image, and that's a great image.
And that's not a criticism of the Photoshop school of thought by the way, just an opinion.

Mta, I looked it up on DuckDuckGo:

Good picture, interesting, wherever it came from, imho.
brought back memories of African Swallows carrying coconuts (Monty Python reference)
Every time I see that photo I cannot resist thinking that the aeroplane is filled with
Telephone Sanitisers, Management Consultants and Marketing executives fleeing from a Mutant Star Goat
This is a real photo - the helicopter is in the background (lower down), the mountain jackdaw is near the photographer.

Without your explanation, pwillener, one might think things are looking bad for the little 'copter.
It still looks bad for the 'copter to me.
In the bottom left corner is a man with a rifle pointing in the direction of the .copter.
Hi pwillener. Are you sure it's a mountain jackdaw? The bird in the picture seems much larger than a mountain jackdaw. Looks more like an eagle to me, but regardless, very interesting shot.
"mountain jackdaw" is the Google translation for "Bergdohle", the name of a common bird in the mountains of Switzerland.
However, looking it up in Wikipedia, the English name there is Alpine Chough; see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpine_Chough
Hi pwillener. Just looked at your wikipedia link. Magnificent looking bird in flight. Thanks for the info.
The German version http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpendohle has a photo of a bird in flight; also a video of a whole flock (further down).
Another interesting picture - photography or design?
