Some may view this as a bit gruesome, while to others it is simply life (and death) in the wild. Canon 7D, 100-400 @ 400, f/7.1, 1/650, cropped and contrast adjusted in Aperture.

CDMOOSE Cream of the Crop  More info | Dec 18, 2013 11:53 | #3 Great capture. They used to be know as duck hawks. Our friends have a cabin on NW Lake Superior and used to have a lot of ducks around until peregrine falcons re-established themselves on a nearby cliff face. Well done. Al

WallaceRiver " ...a bit of a pervy voyeur "  More info | Given the surprise, and the lens, I mean not a real long one, and the not-fast shutter speed, you did amazing well and got a nice, sharp, in focus pic! IAN - Living life on the shores of the Wallace River in northern Nova Scotia, Canada :
