Nice image Kirk! Always neat to see ferocious raptors eating little bugs.

Great capture on this beautiful (and very tough to catch) little raptor. You really nailed it.

A great shot for sure Kirk. My only comment would be a little tighter crop, but it's still great as is ~ Ron

BTW, did you know there are 3 other Bensons posting here?

Bruce (B1)
Benzzene (B3)
and me (B2)
