Hello Avian NatureScapers...

Haven't been able to post for a while as I have been away and up to my eyes in mammals recently... The quality of pictures in this forum is mind boggling..

A few weeks back the Raptor Center at the Univ of MN had a fall festival to raise public awareness and dollars, in support of raptor rehabilitation..

Several birds were out for the public to view and appreciate.. This is one of my favorite RTH images from the day.

Thanks for looking and any comments or suggestions..

The dof is just right covering the beak and the intense eyes ...

Dennis,

You're killing me with your captive raptor shots. This one rates up there as one of my favorites of this series.

Very nice!!

Outstanding shot, Mr. Olivero. The compo is perfect, a term I rarely use. I know that look in his eyes. I have it a few hours every day. He's daydreaming.

I really enjoy captive raptor shots. There is usually more detail in captive shots and in that regard this is one of the best.

Good work, Dennis.

The DOF is perfect and the color combo is great.
