Been spending a lot of time on the metal birds lately, so thought I'd take a bit of a break today and go find some of my wild friends...enjoy!

Thanks BGraphy - I think the kill was a squirrel or something of equal size. :)

Love the raptors Attila, but wow, that RT is a mess!
I can see the Cooper's is doing the typical "accipiter stare" too - :)
Nice set of images.

Thanks - and yep, it was definitely a messy bird! I love the stare as well by the Coopers - sizing up everything around, me included...hehe

And in case everyone is wondering, they were shot with a 300 f4 w/ IS
