One of my best pics of him. Had to do some post-processing to get it a bit sharper.

Hey,

I like it, the pose is interesting. Did you crop it a lot?

Yeah it's cropped big time. Original pic is 10 megs in size and a lot of corn stalks.

very nice! We have those here in Beaverton Oregon. they named a golf course after them as well.

Was it coming for a landing or was it grabbing something. Looks like he's about to snag a mouse.

It was coming in for a landing about 20 ft from me. I had been following it after it caught lunch. It regularly comes around to feed on the pigeons here. Why I have so many pics of it.
