Great shot with great exposure and detail ! - Love it ......( not sure about the vignetting)
I felt the vignetting was a necessary evil to compensate for the blown out sky in the background. Thank you very much for your nice comments !

Very nice capture. Looks like he is posing for the camera, being very proud of his catch.

I watched this hawk swoop down off of the branch and dive down to the ground across a small pond. It returned to the same branch about 15 feet from me with the mouse in it's beak. Thank you for looking and for your nice comments! Taken with Canon 7d mark ll and Canon 100-400 version 2 telephoto.
I think that's a vole--coloring, short ears, and short tail all point toward vole instead of mouse. Great pictures! I have the lens, but I haven't caught anything like those.

I believe you are correct.......should have titled this Red Tailed Hawk With Prey.

Wow! Both captures are great, but I like the second one best. Looks like he is showing off his capture to you.

More like he's worried you are going to take his catch!
