Sometimes you have to take what you can get ... We all want the bird to give you a nice habitat shot,
maybe a flight image, etc. But then there are those times that you just have to settle for the "Bird On A Stick" image

These were taken during my recent trip through Florida

That's a lot of meat eating birds. Nice series.

Thanks Mitch ... I never thought about the meat eating aspect .... and I missed one too!

Red-shouldered Hawk (not on a stick ... but the same idea)

Bob, Thank you for these. I was going to ask what bird that was in photo #3 but it was answered. What a interesting bird, my first time seeing one. From what I have seen on the net this particular bird (to my eye) only has a few "catching features", of which to me, you caught them all in one shot. Very Cool.
