With 2 chicks about 2 weeks old, every 3-4 the male Bat Falcon brings food to the female who's in charge to go and feed them. This time a "Blue-gray Tanager" was the lunch to the fast growing chicks. After 4 hours of waiting time we got 1 second of action to shot.

Canon 5D Mark IV + Canon 500mm f4

ISO 1600
1/2500 sec.
