I was getting ready to leave Bosque when we happened upon this encounter along the loop road. Wish it was cleaner but now this gives you a good idea of why all the snowgeese blast off (although breakfast in this case is a Sandhill Crane).....still a treat to see!
Canon 1D Mark lll with the Sigma 300-800mm lens at 572mm for 1/640 sec. at f11 and ISO 800. I had bodies to my left and right.....so couldn't aim a bit more right....slight crop from behind and bottom.
Great find Roman !! Agree on being a little tight but also might have zoomed all the way for a super tight shot !! Great action !! ... great seeing the teeth and eye contact !!!
Nice moment. A little bit tight, but I would take it any day over the normal coyote looking left and right shots. I agree with Alfred that zooming in for a tight portrait would have been great, especially since you had the arsenal at your disposal. The use of f11 has been helped. Thanks for sharing.
Judging by his condition, I suspect that's not the first bird he's caught this year. I like the eye contact, habitat, and color that the bird adds to the picture.
