Here are a few shots from the RMRP. These folks rescue birds in this region (including Wyoming and Nebraska). I took several shots of this Golden and took a few of the Turkey Vulture. I really like what these folks do to save these amazing birds.
All were shot with the 7D and my 70-200mm f/2.8 handheld. The Turkey Vulture shot is a large crop.

Golden Eagle getting hungry (they salivate and get runny nostrils when hunger strikes)

Some very nice closeups, Kurt. I like the elegant curved lines of the head and wings in #1.
Those bird rescue places do a great job. It was fun watching them release a few rehabed Redtails at Bosque del Apache.

Nice work, Kurt. That first one has a painterly feel to it. They're all wonderful.
