1. Beautiful Capture!

2. Nice one Stephen!

3. Stunning. Are these photos being entered in any competitions, sent to National Geographic for example? They should be.

   1. I don’t enter competitions — just like sharing photos. I like stop action — a photo that shows nature in a way that is not available to the naked eye. Thanks, everyone, for the compliments.

4. I’d like to look at the picture, but my eyes keep popping out of my head.

   1. That sounds nasty. Are you alright?

5. Very nice bird!

6. Awesome as usual!

7. very very nice…. if interested i can forward Jerry photos i’ve taken of burrowing owls, osprey and coopers hawk that all live here on the canal i live on… the owls are seasonal residents but the hawk and osprey are year round as are the crested cranes. love them raptors ….

8. Totally OT and I apologize. Just wanted to let everyone know that textbook publishers are not bowing to Texas SDE ‘demands’

   1. That’s good news.

9. Reminds me of some shots I got when I had a family of sharp-shinned hawks nesting in my yard in Fairbanks AK. For anyone interested:

   1. Very nice!

10. Nice one, Stephen! -I love the feeling of having the (long, heavy) lens pointed up toward a bird perched up high, which looks like it ‘just might be ready’ to take off. Which usually translates to about 3-4 minutes later. Or never. 😀
