The wings do look very aerodynamically graceful.

It was obvious in earlier photos that one was weaker than the other. Your final photo of the male in flight is one of the best flight shots I have seen, showing the individual feathers and how they change the wing shape to suit the mode of flight.? I may have mentioned this previously.? Dr. August Raspet, who headed the Aerophysics Dept. when I was in college, in the late 1940s, trained a buzzard to fly alongside his sailplane so he could observe the tips of the wings while in flight.
