Wow, the details in the first shot are great! Usually you have to take someones word, that the furry blob is a vole. Then you have Roughy, kicking up some snow too, with motion blurred talons. Super shot!

No offense to the second shot, its good too, it just gets overshadowed.

Beautiful set Al. Really like that first one! Congrats on getting these. I've always found these guys so difficult to get within 50yards of.

Thank you, guys. Apparently they are considered an approachable hawk, but like most, they are tough in my experience. This one was one in a thousand.

Thanks, Mike; these were taken in the area you're planning to visit in mid-May.
