IPT, I really like the one with the seagull and the eagle, very nice.

This is what an eagle looks like that is about to jump out of the snow...

I stitched this together from 4 shots of this eagle landing. It isnt as cool as I thought it would be, but a neat effect still.

I think I'm going to publish the image above and call it "The last thing my chihuahua ever saw..."

Doesn't look like what we call a buzzard! Looks more like a hawk.

in the uk its a buzzard, or in latin its "buteo buteo " our most common bird of prey !

Here are some Sandhill Crane shots that I took today, a few hours ago. They really dont let you get too close and I dont have the equipent to get great closeups, I also didn't spend much time touching them up so they are a little raw, but they are cool non-the-less. This is a really rare sighting here, I'm very excited to get to see them; not many of this subspecies exist and they are never this far east.

Not the greatest clarity but I like this shot I wish I had been shooting just a little bit faster shutter speed and had this guy frozen.
