Excellent behavioral image. Love the perch and active poses you captured.

Exceptional action frame of these Crested Caracaras, Gene! The pose with talons extended is a bonus. Excellent image!

The startled look of the bird on the left is amazing as well as the extended claw of the bird on the right! I'm glad I'm not in the middle of that encounter! Excellent!!

Great looking behavioral interaction. Between the talons and the cactus a lot of bad things look like they can happen there !! Well done.

Action and framing is great. So many cool features captured in this instant, the talons on the tip of the cactus, the evasion of the kick, etc. Certainly looks great clicking for the larger image.
