She caught it close by and proceeded to bring it to a close by perch.
Much to my delight.

The pose and head turn are beautiful, Terry. Love the catchlight in her eye. Well done!

Excellent image Terry. Nice to get such a closeup of one of these, especially on a natural perch and with prey.

Wonderful shot, nice perch and pose. Prey is a nice bonus. Would love to be able to get this close to one of these guys.

Terry, Excellent image. The yellow on the perch compliments the yellow on her beak.

Sharp from eye to the tip of the tail feathers, it's great when you are in the right place at the right time and you took advantage of this one Terry.
