Contest Number: 139 Contest Theme: Birds Lens: sigma DG 50-500 Camera: Pentax K10D Shutter Speed: 1/500s Aperture: F6.3

This photo was taken near Little Mombo camp in Botswana in 2012. It shows a Martial Eagle perched on a tree branch clutching its prey, which was a genet cat. The genet measured approximately 30 inches from nose to tail. I was able to get another photo of this eagle in flight, carrying the genet, but it is slightly blurred, so not the best one to submit. It is edited slightly to remove a few marks from the lens and slightly cropped to remove a partial branch in upper left.
