The assignment was the letter "E" you covered that quite well! I dig street shots not to good at them myself I get lost in composing instead of shooting. Great Elvis capture!! I like the perspective on the last one especially!

An Eagle by another name...

The Mexican EAGLE aka Cara Cara

These rapters facinate me, I dont know if since I first discovered them is why they seem to be more prevelant around here or that their original habitat has changed and they have choosen my area to migrate to but I certainly do see them more often in recent times. Even thought the Buzzard/Vulture is a larger bird they are afraid of the ME. They will stay back even if there are more of them. Usually the ME travel in pairs. The day I took this picture there were two of them and 8-10 vultures all standing back until the ME both got their bit then they stepped in and even then only 1 or 2 at a time. I watched them for quite a while and every time the ME wanted back at the carcass the buzzards all backed off.

Ah yes, beautiful bird. This one was taken in Florida, not Mexico i'm afraid,lol.

Awesome!! not seen them with the white neck !! Very cool! Mine was taken in Central Texas. It seems that Texas and Florida and in some areas of Arizona are where the Caracara are found. The ones here in the US are a northern race of the South American species. There are black, white, yellow & red necked Caracara. Sorry derailed the thread with a aviary lession!! I told you these birds fascinate me!!

Hey, no worries, it was a great shot you got and i'm fascinated by them too!

What lens were you using your so damn close!! I'd love to get that close a shot!!

It was a 70-300 telephoto, Sigma I believe. I'm pretty sure the feathers were whiter because it was a fledgling, which may explain why it wasn't skittish.

So who wants to pick the new subject!?!?

How about Animals?

I got a ton of cat pictures that I know you are all dying to see! ;-)

I won third place with this one in the first photo contest I entered. This was taken at a bird sanctuary near Amelia Island, FL.
