For real. Catching small birds on the wing is such a challenge.

Hadn't seen a magpie with this coloring before. Females typically have at least some black around the heads.

I'm no nature photographer but I was sitting on the beach taking pics of dogs in the ocean when my wife pointed out a bird that had just snagged a fish. I was somehow able to turn the camera on, zoom to the telephoto end, autofocus, and get a few shots off. Can anybody identify the bird for me? Heron? Osprey? This was in the Florida panhandle.

Osprey, yeah I agree, based on the talons and the feathers.

The out-of-focus cooler in the foreground makes it look like the bird snagged the fish from somebody's catch.

I have one little friend who sits as look out for the ruby throated or rufous hummingbirds. It doesn't matter where I am, he goes to his post on the pole above "their" feeders and will chase off any of the broad-tails who come by. The broad-tails have their own feeder. The raptor, on the other hand, is an unwelcome guest since my chickens free range.

He's a handsome devil.

Recent trip to Chester, UK lead me to the fantastic falconry centre there. Some beautiful birds, although they have a tendency to fly off and chase the local pigeons.

Not sure what exact species this one was.

We are healthy only to the extent that our ideas are humane.

I brought an Aplomado Falcon into my studio this weekend! I'm not sure if studio stuff belongs in this thread, but, well, it's a bird!

His name is Nopalito. We were able to elicit a brief hover before alighting on his handler's glove.

Here’s another one from this shoot. I initially dismissed it because the exposure is garbage, but I have since decided that I don’t care.

This little guy was I think sitting in this box I had used to paint some color samples yesterday. We walked right by him and startled him up onto the top of the box where he promptly took a poo poo. He's just chilling out there now, he looks like a young mourning dove, maybe just fledged. There are two adults who pick around the ground of our goldfinch feeder at the niger scraps so I assume he's waiting on one of them to come back. I went in the back door to not scare him further. :3:
