“Target locked”

A Great Grey spots a vole and dives straight down to the grass to catch it


It is unbelievable how a bird this large can fly through the thick woods with such grace and ease!

Terrific capture of this Black-billed Magpie, Sid! Very appealing image! Dealing with the blacks and the whites...it definitely makes for a difficult shot.

Thank you for the kindly compliment Mike.

Awesome capture of your Snowy Egret that's intensely focused while on the hunt.
