Wonderful
Thanks
For some reason, I want to turn my head sideways to view this excellent shot.
I know the feeling, when I took it, I felt it looked like it is falling. I've been told that when they catch a live bird, they stretch their wings back, lift the prey in their claws and kill it very quickly with their beak and in the process they do fall.
Congrats!
Thanks Randy
