Raptor over raleigh

opiedog · 04-22-2011, 07:31 AM

Despite the dismal weather, I decided to take my lunch break outside... a walk… w/ my d7k.

I’ve seen this hawk before nesting at a nearby church, and today it was hunting time.

More shots here:

Caution: a few shots show the predator with its prey and may be a bit “raw”

FYI you should probably use post your photos for threads like these- there's absolutely nothing wrong with posting non-Pentax photos there
