Stanley, thank you! This bird was more concerned with eating the field mouse than my taking pictures.

Excellent picture, John. Not often you see them with blood from the prey on their beaks.

Lisa, thank you! I appreciate that you took the time to comment. This is one of a series I took while the bird was dining. If I get a chance I'll post another where it is actually eating. It seemed more content on dinner than being photographed although there is one shot where it is glaring at me.
