Wow Darren, these are incredible. # 1 is strikingly sharp and emotional. Love the babies in the nest too. All are great.

A wonderful series Darren, apparently you got there a bit earlier on the first shot for the kill ID

, not much left to work with! That is one incredible shot you put together. The nighthawk is something new to me, must sleep during the day

Swainsons hawk is beautiful, gotta love the baby RT's in the nest and any time you can get an owl pic is a good one for me

Just great

Beautiful shots Darren,

the hawk babies/chicks are just amazing. They look already like the predators they are growing up to be. That stare is already there.

Congratulations

Great shots. First and last are my favorite though. i'm not big on the simple blue sky as background... but that's probably a wee bit difficult to control, eh? :P

Lovely work.
