Falcon catches a little bird.

[tamrock]

I saw this Falcon today in the grass and it just caught a small bird and then flew up in a long needle pine and started picking it to pieces. I was glad I had my camera for this encounter. It brought Matthew 10:29,31 to my mind.

Great pictures. It pays to have a camera along all the time, and I forget that most of the time.

Got a Peregrine in my area , kills all nesting doves.

Have you ever watched them chase away the bigger hawks?

They have some attitude for a smaller predator.

That was the only one out of three I took where it was in a good poised position of some kind. It either had it's head turned and I couldn't see his eyes or something not really neat-looking about them. Couple other shots on the ground weren't too bad.

I saw two one time giving chase to a great horned owl. They were actually pulling feathers out of that owl in flight. It was like two ME109s taking hits on a lagging behind B17.

Once again, great pics!!

I was out working in the yard yesterday when a Blue Jay started raising quite a ruckus in a nearby Spruce. I looked up just in time to see a hawk just barely skim the tree top!! What I wouldn't do to be able to print that view from my memory. ....Course, knowing me, the printed pic would probably end up looking like something obscene!
