In to the Kill

Gallery: AvianPosted December 6, 2012226 views18 comments

A few frames after my last Caracara shot. I like that you can see the American coot feathers scattered all over the ground. This was a peregrine falcon kill site that the Caracara took over.

Camera and setting the same as the other recent Caracara image I posted.

Thanks for looking and have a great day.

An ideal combination of a great pose + good light. The flashes of lighter plumage stand out nicely. Excellent detail in the face too.

Great catch. It almost looks like an oil painting.

Way to cool with the light and landing pose. I like that you can still see feather detail in the darker areas, way to go Ron.

Great landing pose, Ron! I'm hoping that on one of my Florida trips I'll catch one of these. Only minor nit is that I wish the dark BG in front wasn't there, otherwise great catch.

Superb POV, Ron. Outstanding light and sharpness. I really like the 3D character of this image. Another wonderful series. Thanks for sharing this.

Excellent. What a pose. Perfect timing. I like the ominous looking BG.

Awesome light and super angle Ron. Pity about the rings though.
