1. I never knew there were greater/lesser variants of this bird; cool!
2. That first shot totally looks like Snoopy doing his buzzard impression from the top of the doghouse

Thanks for sharing these!
I believe there are subspecies but from I can tell this is the dominant species.
Now that you mention it that first one does remind me of Snoopy. This time of year with no snakes they will hop on a rock and hope a lizard snack pops out.
Thanks!

Great shots Eric. I really like the stare on that first one.
Thanks Don. Don't think a lizard did pop out from under that rock!

Meep, Meep, Great capture of a Skittish bird!!
Thanks! I was shooting a golden eagle at some distance so I had the 100-400+1.4x TC combo on the camera. I had only used the TC on primes but just before I left on this trip someone posted some impressive images with this combo. I have to say the IQ is far better than I expected.
