A great tactic to be able to capture them close up! LOL!

She looks completely baffled! Glad to hear she was on her way soon after though. I love the clear focus on her eye and face.

Our last victim was a goshawk...so glad this beauty survived! Chris

Amazing capture. Glad she recovered.

Fantastic capture. This is the proper way to shoot birds - with a camera, not a gun.

wow what a beauty...you were so lucky you had your camera in hand!!

Stunned but a survivor. We have that happen all of the time at home. No losses yet. Lots of beak dings in the glass though.
Faye White11-Aug-2008 19:14
she has that "I meant to do that!" look - lol!

great catch
Zak11-Aug-2008 19:12
it could call Claims Direct! ;-)

Awe, poor thing...your windows must be really clean!
I like to leave a bit of dirt on them and the birds will know they are there! lol
Nicki Thurgar11-Aug-2008 19:03
Oh no! She does look a little shocked! Great close up though!
