Hi Stu, like the framing here, with the subject being slightly smaller in frame and the hint of trees in the BKG. Well timed with the open beak and tasty morsel just about to disappear down. Well handled with the Black & Whites, agree on the behaviour aspect, just adds to the challenge of retaining detail in the legs!!! They do deserve their nickname - 'The Undertaker'.
Nice one Stu.

Hi Stu - Great timing! Nice job on the exposure with good detail. Interesting about the legs and I agree with you, much better ways to stay cool!

Good capture. It looks like a good exposure with sharp focus. I like the change in BG at the top. I have never heard of this behavior and don't think I will put it on my bucket list to witness.

I have always thought these big birds were pretty gnarly. I have watched Many videos on National Geo over the years as they inhaled everything from mammals, amphibians, fish to birds and carrion too.
The interesting fact about cooling off makes perfect sense. Nature is awesome.
Well captured and thanks for the info Stu.
Come join me for a Custom Raptor Workshop starting this November 2019- January 2020.
P.M. me to inquire on dates, pricing and availabilities. Thank You.

Stu you would not get any marks for cuteness with this bird ,love the way you have caught the open beak pose and the bird itself is nicely detailed and sharp.
