Not in the wild, I confess, but...

Went out on the boat early this morning to grab some fresh oysters for dinner and snapped a few of these as he flew over

Shot with a Canon 5D with a Sigma 50-500 at 500mm from a moving boat, handheld

:Wow1::Wow1: Those are simply amazing.

Thanks Joash. It helps that a friend was throwing a cast net, and the eagles have learned that they can sometimes get a free meal if they hang around

Great shot Jake! I've only been able to get one shot of a Road Runner. Those things are fast and dont like to have a camera pointed at them

Wow. Pat and Jake, those are some great shots.

Here one that visited my backyard.

Then he got a shower

Yeah, I wouldn't want them latched onto my face. :Wow1:

If you look closely at his left foot the middle talon looks like it may have a little left over hanging there from his last meal.

Technically not a bird of prey I guess, but:

Cool shot. Is that a Condor or just a large Vulture?

I vote bird of prey, it just happens to pick on "sleeping prey". :elkgrin:

I would say you got that right. :Wow1: Their eyes seem to burn right through you. Nice capture...now run away!
