Very cool getting the two together. Heck, I haven't got a photo of just one of these guys worth posting yet; I think they are just "stellar" in terms of sheer beauty. Some nice texture and detail in the perch too Verdon. Good job on the exposure in what seems to be mid day light.

Fine action image, great color and good background. The thing that would have made this really great would be if both birds were in focus.

Verdon, I really like the one sharp bird, the perch, and the BG. To me the second bird is too OOF to add to this shot.

Verdon,
I too wish that the incoming bird were just a little more sharp. Love the background and the perch and you did a stellar job of exposing this image. The square crop works pretty well for me. Looks like you had a great time on your hike.

Cool action scene, and plenty of attitude to go around.
Well composed, love this species of corvidae..They are truly "stellar".
Catchy title too, thank you for the timely clarification
Thanx for posting this Verdon!
