This image really portrays the power and strength in these birds. Taken as she was heading for a prairie dog.

Great timing Rob! By the looks of this bird prairie dogs must make good meals, this is a hefty bird.

This glows with light and action. I like the way she is pushing off the tips of those talons.

Wonderful shot! Love the wing position. Wish the head was turned more towards you but great as is.
