In winter, I tend to shoot a lot of raptors..Rough Legs and Red Tails, and especially Owls when I can find them. Lat year there was a winter roost of Short Ears along one of my usual routes, which hopefully is back again this year.

The banking pose is fantastic and I love those sharp eyes too, Harold! :roll:
The near square crop works fine here ...

Beautiful, Harold. The piercing eyes are the stars of the image. If a bird is coming right at the viewer, there's nothing wrong with a square crop.
