My fish!!!

[Doug Brown]

As I mentioned in an earlier post, the harriers were hungry in Utah last week. I love the way the hawk on the ground is using her tail feathers to hide the fish from the harrier approaching by air.

Great behavioral image, Doug. I'd be tempted to crop some from the white sky on top and some left.
You really caught some heavy action. Was the Harrier successful?

cool shot Doug, great action.

Great interaction and behavior. Who got the fish?

The one on the ground lost the battle for the fish.

Nice action pic. I like the way the grounded one appears to be bracing for the impact.
