Excellent shots!
Thanks for sharing

Thanks Siva and Bertwert. Amherst Island is well known for raptors and has a good crop of voles this year. There were even reports of a couple of Snowy Owls (usually in winter but not at this time of year) but I didn't see them.

That is surprisingly good for that focal length. Well done, I'm jealous.
