Wow, sweet find! Right in that golden light, too! Larger version definitely needs to be viewed.

Looks as though he's very absorbed in the moment. Nice light and neat find Sandy.

Excellent, Sandy. Beautiful light on the hawk, and I like the bone.

Very nice capture and i love the lighting condition and the habitat in which the majestic bird is eating his meal.

Looks like it's about to pick a bone with you. Nice color and nice action.

I certainly like how it's holding the bone in it's beak. Nice timing and pov on this Sandy. Well done!
