I have added the scientific name. This is a very important piece of information as it removes the spotting from the unidentified portion of our database. Thanks for adding it to the Raptor mission!
What a catch!! Great capture!
thank you, it grabbed that squirrel out of its nest about 20 ft from where I was standing.
By looks of those ears, I would say it is a squirrel . But I can see the mythical creature you are referring to injica! Nice spot Matt!
Funny spotting, is this a rabbit that it is holding? It looks like a myth animal, legs for running and wings for flying!
