jhayesvw Cream of the Crop More info | Nov 29, 2013 19:54 | #1 I've been trying for this bird for 3 years. Every time I hear it is around I drive 2 hours down to see it. Even though my friends have seen it. I have yet to find it until today.    220mm I was CLOSE   This guy swooped down and snatched up a Preying Mantis. I watched him eat it and snapped away a few pics.

Nov 30, 2013 00:35 | #10 Thanks everyone. I had not seen one of these posted on here. Maybe ever so I thought many people would enjoy it. These are only found in Mexico/central America but a few make their way up into AZ each year.
