Magnificent action shot....well timed

Really wonderful action. Juvenile raptors are the worst.

Great shot Callie. It must be difficult to pan through a car window

Great capture, Callie! I see the raptors in skirmishes quite often but it is had to capture them close and in the same frame at the same time. Great work!!

Thanks Kathy ~ nearly impossible. You have to stop the vehicle, down the window, poke out your lens and look for the action, pick-it up and follow and shoot. By this time, you are lucky to get 1 frame.
