WOW Kc!!! What a wonderful surprise and reaction shot too.

Excellent work here lass - very well done.

Perhaps you need to start feeding these guys now!;)

You better keep moving KC, at that range you are easy pickings. Excellent shot my friend.

TuVus can hardly be called cute, but I might make an exception for this one |=)|

Congratulations on capturing this huge bird as it is taking off, KC. Great focusing on its head.An excellent image. I wouldn't want that bird to fly close over my head !
