Great action and nice light, Bob. And any shot of these is a big bonus. The one tangle of branches coming into the top of the frame half way between the bird keeps drawing my eye, though the others don't.

Great capture in and of itself. Add to it the fact that they are Whoopers, and you have a real winner. Congrats.

Nice behavioral capture on an uncommon subject with some sweet light for a bonus. Well done.
