...after weeks of baiting, early mornings, too many stupid dogs and their walkers (stealth cam knows all!), too many hours spent for nothing... they came. Finally it is -10°, the snow unable to melt and the buzzards are hungry. Still took them until noon to decide to eat anything though :|

Neil, it may have taken a lot of hard work, but it was worth it in the end. As a VERY minor nit I would like a little more additional canvas above the bird, but no big deal. Superb work.

No too shabby for the 1D Neil, nice detail and I like the head angle.
Good to see your wait, was not in vain.

Thanks guys. I forgot to mention I was able to use ISO 200.... I mean, what the hell... I have never used ISO 200 on the 1D ;) I was more worried about the whites, but they came out OK. It all came together at once.
@David, yeh but the downward look means i can get away without it
