Sweet set Tom. I'm sure the wife understands you being late with the IQ you have on these, definitely worth the detour. 
I'll pick #1, 4 and 5. Great job, you're getting me all psyched up for the hawk season in a few months.

Well, Tom, it damn near was worth getting hit by the semi. That is one great series. Nice capture. The youngster has its supper. That is good. Just think only 20% of all redtails hatched live to be one year old. That first shot is spectacular and the ultimate look alike cobra shot is another great one.

Thanks my friend, yeah I really pissed off the trucker and for that I am sorry but I got a little carried away when I saw this young one land

Excellent action series. One of my dream captures is a hawk with a snake. It's frustrating to see so many hawks while I'm driving around but rarely do I see one when I'm specifically looking for them. Very well done.
Thanks and hope you realize your dream soon

A lot of what goes into a successful shooting depends greatly on opportunities and you made the most of yours, Tom.
You did an exceptional work capturing this amazing action sequence. Each shot is sharp, well exposed and with a very nice tonality
#4 is my pick.
