Very nice pictures. I use a similar Canon L series zoom lens. After all the pixs of hawks and eagles I have to ask, in the following picture is this lunch or supper?

They could be either/or for a raptor, if they were all ready dead. These doves are quicker than the big guys.Very nice pictures. I use a similar Canon L series zoom lens. After all the pixs of hawks and eagles I have to ask, in the following picture is this lunch or supper?

Alan, have you ever dove hunted? Holy ****!! Tom E is correct. They're like trying to shoot Sidewinder Missiles. They're hard little things for the big birds to catch.
Now, Pigeons...Those fat useless bastards are common Hawk food around here. As it should be!!

The hawks that sit at the very tip top the Norwegian Spruce tree in our front yard have no problem knocking off doves and other birds at our bird feeding station. Some hunt by the 'bolt of lightning out of the blue' where the feeding bird is dun fer before it knows what happened. Another more clever hawk swoops down and spooks the flocks of feeding birds, then in their panic one or more ricochets off of our living room window and then the hawk selects from the stunned birds on our deck. This winter we haven't had the feeder hawks, probably because it has been a milder winter.
Based on the feathers we find in our yard, our neighbor's cat seems to be able to knock off doves too.
Over the past few weeks I have started to see red tail hawks returning. In the April/May time frame bald eagles gather along the Merrimack river in our area. A nesting pair near ol' Fred W held up a major highway construction project for a year or two.

These long distance travelers are snow geese from the Arctic. There is a limit hunting season for them in certain areas.Wow, great pictures! I loved them all. But these two look especially

Local farmers plant winter wheat/rye for these geese who in turn receiprocate by fertilizing their feilds.

Great pictures. Thanks for sharing. Love the Eagles especially. We have a mating pair and nest here on our plant site. We also have Heron, Osprey, Red Tail Hawks, Kestrals. The Hawks and Ketrals eat the pidgeons. The others feed mostly on fish from the river and pond.

Very interesting! How do you cook them? Do they taste much like owl? Or more like whooping crane?
I am kidding. We are starting to get more and more eagles down here in South Louisiana. I am sure that they find our fishing to be first rate. For certain the water is not as cold on their feet (talons?).
My wife and I were watching the "Eagle Cam" out of Virginia a couple of years ago until the female was killed on a runway. She very nearly had herself convinced we were adding that to our vacation itinerary. I was able to show her a couple of nests here locally and saved myself a few dollars in fuel.
