Have a lot of hawks in my area. This guy landed on my deck and I was able to get a few shots on the fly. Very overcast that day.

I caught an RTH take a young red squirrel a few months back. We were 30 feet away when she began dressing it for lunch. The sounds of the bones breaking was more than my wife could handle. I just kept shooting every rare second using 150 frames. Your shots are awsome. The bird in action.

Photographs are records of life. Pity they don't make music when you put them in a record player. :p
