floraphile Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 (edited) These pics are not great in quality, but interesting in that they appear to show some pecking order (literally) in the raptor world. I was at a garden center across the highway from a field, saw some activity & snapped some quick shots in succession. At first, there were 2 (?immature) Red-Tailed Hawks on the fence with a dead Fox Squirrel; several Turkey Vultures were hanging out a few feet to either side of them. Eventually, the vultures descended upon & chased the hawks off their prey. Next, another Red-Tailed Hawk came on the scene and chased off the vultures.

The backlighting, the hovering hummingbird, the different shades of green in the background... Gorgeous photo! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me this is a perfect 5 star habitat photo, something that usually gets poorly rated on eBird. Edited November 13, 2021 by Aaron 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clip Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 One of my all time favorite photos when it seemed all the photography stars aligned-subject✔️ who doesn't love a Wood Duck, lighting✔️almost perfect to highlight some of the beautiful colors of this duck, background or setting✔️freshly fallen fall leaves. This is the raw photo too I have not messed with it in any way. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
