This hawk captured a swallow in our back yard area and flew up and landed on the post supporting the nest boxes. I had about 30-45 seconds of shooting before it flew off with the swallow in its talons.

NICE catch ! ........Thanks for sharing
Wow! Those piercing red eyes. Great capture, both for the hawk and for yourself. Cheers.
Wonderful capture. You were definitely at the right place at the right time and had your camera handy. That doesn't always happen.
Excellent and a great download on the first image!
