This little guy shakes off the water and maybe acouple of quills as he exits the pond.

Thank you for the kind words but I do need to make a correction. Those are his legs, He is not carrying a rabbit.
I'm guessing his feet were in that position because he was hovering. In normal flight, they would be tucked back out of sight. I was able to get 13 usable shots and here is one that shows his feet better.

Yesterday, I spent 3 hours standing at the edge of a field hoping the owls at the other end of the field would come close enough for a decent shot but, it didn't happen. I was cold, tired and hungry so, I decided to call it a day. I was walking back to my car when it happened. An owl flew right by me and continued on along the side of the road. I was kicking myself for not being ready. My one chance for a shot and I had my camera shut off and slung over my shoulder. Then the incredible happened. He turned around and came straight back at me and this time I was ready. But then it got even better! He came within 20ft from my car, stopped, and went into a hover. He had spotted something in the grass. His wings and body were making all kinds of gyrations to maintain his hover but his eyes stayed locked on target. He held the hover long enough for me to fire off about 15 shots then he dove on his target
Sadly, he missed - but I didn't.
Funny, I wasn't cold, tired or hungry anymore.

If you're a fan of the movie Top Gun, you'll recognize that quote.

An short eared owl and a northern harrier hawk engage in a tug-o-war with a field mouse while a second owl waites for them to drop it hoping he can scoop up an easy meal.

This guy locked eyes on me and stayed that way for several minutes before he decided to fly away.

Located in SW Washington at the entrance to the Pacific from the Columbia River.

I was able to watch this guy from my car, which was probably why I stuck with him as long as I did.
He stood like a statue for about 20 min. before his target finally swam by and then it was all action.

Now the hard part, maneuvering the fish so it will easily slide down the throat head first.
Not as easy as you might think.

When you're in competition with a dozen other eagles, you don't advertise your catch. You hide it, then eat it as fast as you can.

An eagle casts a shadow as he tucks his catch under his body to hide it from others while he heads for the nearest tree branch to enjoy his lunch.

Every time I see and hear a Great Blue Heron it makes me think of a pterodactyl.
