Had a great morning photographing a pair of Caracaras busy building nest. I don't know much about this bird but they are very hardworking and smart. Background is distance trees.

Nikon D3S + 600VR + 1.4TC, 1/1600SS, f 7.1, ISO 1000, +1/3 EV

Great work, Troy! I'm sure the masters will be able to suggest improvements, but not me! Love it as is!

These are a very smart bird. I have had some experience using them in bird of prey flying diplays and they will out think most humans!! Nice image.

Great behaviour shot, Troy. I had similar experience at Viera.

Good flying posture, and I like the trailing nesting material. Another vote for trying to tone down the BG a touch.

Nice image Troy! I like the wing position and nesting material.
