Description

D2x, Nikon 200-400 VR lens at 400, SB800 flash with extender, gitzo, level and Wimberley head. 1/250 f5.6 spot metering, iso 100. A little soft due to the distance of approximately 140. The bird has just caught a small tree swallow and was plucking feathers and tearing off flesh. A member of the falcon family. A first for me on this bird.
