The banded mongoose wished it could fly. The Marshal eagle obliged in helping the mongoose. Taken in Chobe NP, Botswana during my June 2014 photo workshop. I"m pretty sure it'w with my Canon 5D MkIII at 640mm (400mm DO lens with 1.4x T/C).

Very nice capture! Definitely a case of being in the right place at the right time ... for you and the eagle - not so much for the mongoose.
