Hey Shay,

In the past I found the promise of unlimited babyback ribs to work wonders with him:D

Ya know... a new smokehouse ribs joint just opened down the street. I think I know how to win this challenge!!!!!

So the wing tip is cut off...

I remember one hawk shot I took with the wing tip cut off. I was horrified, everyone loved it. I like this!

By the way -- post a photo of one of these ant hills.

That can't have been pleasant with sandals on!

you know harry, I've never even been lucky enough to SEE birds like this in the wild (from that close at least - we have a growing number of bald eagles around here), let alone photograph them that well!

great story, great captures, even with the clips!

Thank you. You are very kind. I'm lucky because I live in what we used to call in the army a "target rich environment". I should be paying the wildlife modelling fees.

Hey Dee,

I know the shots are OK but I was dying to get a full frame shot with the wings outstretched. Now that would have been cool.

I tried to get a shot of the anthill (or what was left of it) but with a 300mm and 1.4 TC I was just too darn close. Next time I'll take a macro lens with me.
