Back in March, I watched as this harrier, partially hidden in the grass, devoured a mouse.  I waited a half-hour for her to take off, and when she finally did I was pleased that for once she didn't go in the opposite direction from me.  I liked the way this showed her full crop from having just dined on the field mouse.

D500, 500f4 + 1.4 TC, ISO 1000, 1/2500s @ f/7.1 manual.

Nice capture Bill. The details and colors look great and I like the BG as it's just blurred enough to be appealing, but still shows the environment well.
As you know the HA could be a lot more engaging but still cool for now. That is until you get that killer one your looking for :)
