Holy awesome action adventure, Danman! What a rare moment to capture, and you got the whole series of it too! Hats off to you my friend. Congratulations, to say the least. I really like the look of the attempted robbing behavior of the second Kite, with its talons fully extended and eye contact on the mouse. Had it been at a nearer distance and with more details, that would have been a HG for sure! Nevertheless, still something I'd drool over for many months to come.

Andy

What? I'm down to SIXTH already? Thought I was first (doh!)


Hi Andy,
Thank you for your kind words. I was just lucky to capture these. Normally I only see one or two the most in one area.

Danno

I'm not sure how much you know about WTK Behavior

The two plane white WTK's are the Parents

The TWO with the brown coloring around their chest and neck are New Babies or JUVI's.

The parent's go out and catch the food and then the parents hand off the food to the babies in MID AIR called a FOOD EXCHANGE

You got the HOLY GRAIL of WTK shots buddy!!!!!

YOU DA MAN

WOW! It is rare for us to see one WTK down here let alone 4, and not
only that exchanging food. GREAT!

Pretty awesome stuff! I've never seen so many WTK's in one place. Great find, you sure lived up to your moniker, Lucky Danno!


Thank you much Wing. These were taken in the Coyote Valley. I know I was lucky to have captured this. I was just shooting some IF shots and they were single WTK shots only until I saw this.

Very nice captures Danno.. Wow what a thrill..

So did you really miss Ant LMAO

My PM box is full from people asking me how I got him to stay away so long... and want me to do it again..

C



Thank you very much Chadda. It was a thrill...I only wished I had a nicer BG and maybe closer shots. These birds always stay far from you. I had to use the 500 w/ TC1.7X which slowed down the AF tracking significantly.

Yeah I missed Ant...maybe

I guess he's just making up for all my posts he never replied to before.

Dan I have to second Thang's comment - -

Just amazing set. I just showed my husband & he's really impressed.

Lucky you to catch this in every way - - you should be able to sell these shots.

Congratulation to posting probably the best sequence I've ever seen posted of action shots here.

Well done Dan

Hey Dan,
in all seriousness, you should consider submitting one of these to National Geographic for their photo of the day/week/month contest.

Not sure Danno.................... Tomorrow?


The model air field opens at 8 AM and closes at sunset. They seem to go out and hunt more in the afternoon a few times I was there.
