p.1 #1 · Unexpected aerial food exchange ( Kite vs Falcon)

The first time I saw a peregrine falcon trying to steal a vole from a white-tailed kite. It was an overcast day and the distance was far, but still felt lucky to capture the sequence.

Great sequence Dan. You overcame the shooting difficulties (lighting, distance) to show a great story.

Very cool sequence. These types of interactions make up for all the time standing around with nothing happening.

That�s more skyway robbery rather than food exchange and the larger and stronger peregrine falcon did it without any problems. At any rate, you captured the sequence well, Dan!

Great sequence! TFS.

I'm certain that the mouse's glimmer of hope that it was being rescued were quickly dashed.

Thank you everyone for the encouragement. It was a lucky day. I went back twice afterwards but couldn't find any clue.
Cheers

Definitely a case of assault by the falcon. Very nicely captured.
