Photo No. 1, is a great, action photo....
Thank you Jones & Christy; that was a near 'gamble' shot but I somehow managed a modest capturing of the occasion!
What a beautiful shot!! (I like the one landing best!) Perfect timing! It's fantastic seeing raptors from other countries...diversity is definitely out there!
Timing is everything, and you got it. Nice shot.
