Came across this pretty little raptor ... i had been out sun rise and an hour had past not one photo had i taken ... and then i saw this guy sitting on a fence ... took a couple from inside the car expecting him to fly off as i got out .... but to my joy i spent the next two hours with him ... he would move a little ways along the fence no more than 100 meters all up , fly past my ear and back again , what joy ... i could see later the feathers in his talons and the blood on his beak , so guess he was full and did not want to fly off .... what a photo shoot over a 1000 images , yes got carried away lol .... conditions were hard cloudy , really cloudy , sunny , cloudy then sunny again , constant change of settings ... canon 7d2 , sigma 150-600 sport

Excellent series. Good job.
It's great when they want their picture taken.
Sounds like a great way to spend a morning. Glad you were able to experience that.
Beautiful set...you did well.
