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.
