From Santa Clara Ranch in South Texas last month.  The parents raised 3 young this year and all 5 birds were taking turns coming into the raptor blind.  This is one of the adults.  It kept us busy in the afternoons.

Great landing pose with full wing stretch. Well done, Nate.
Sounds like a place to go to.

Beautiful landing shot of this great looking adult. The details and the light are awesome.
Did you manually back focus or did the autofocus catch her coming in? Nice frame!
