Or, hurry up what have you got for me to eat? Super timing to get the incoming parent and great expression on the youngster in the hole. I tried for this species in the southern prairies of Sask this summer but was surprised that I couldn't get within a 100 yards of them - very alert and wary I found.

Great wide-eyed look on the youngsters face. Nice wing span and spread tail on the parent.

Sweet action shot Verdon :cool:
