Nice capture, Eric! He surely has himself a good size nightcrawler for lunch.

So true. It must've been a solid 5 minutes of trying to gather the silly thing in its beak before it came up with that mouthful well deserved meal, for sure

.
This is such a "clean" image, with no unsightly distractions in the background, such as out of focus branches right behind the bird's head, "sky holes", etc. . The background is beautiful and actually makes it a better portrait, instead of making it worse. . I love it because of that!

"Your" and "you're" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
"They're", "their", and "there" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
"Fare" and "fair" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one. The proper expression is "moot point", NOT "mute point".

Very nice sharp image, Bill! This bird stands out so well with the excellent background...very lifelike.
