a Powerline tower. The Starlings did not seem to alarmed at their larger neighbor.

Shot from a couple of days ago.

These are very unusual neighbors ... Great angle and sharpness, beautiful and well-contrasted tones. Voting.

Those starlings better pay attention. One of them's about to bite the dust. :) Super capture. The hawk looks almost quizzical.

That's a really menacing glance, even if it's not on the preferred breakfast menu :)

I love the caption, Bryan. Great catch.

Nice capture Bryan. It amazes me to see the smaller birds perched near, or even swooping, the raptors.
