    Well, it was a bad day to be a vole. This one did not get dropped, but ended up as dinner for some chicks. This image is more about the behavior and less about the perfect lighting.

    50D, EF400mm f/5.6L
    Manual mode, f/5.6@1/2500 ISO 400 WB 5100K
    AI Servo autofocus, hand-held no flash

    Kerry - nice flight shot with perfect wing position and I agree the HA is great. Maybe a little more sharpening on the head. Interesting that it is holding the vole with only one talon.

    TFS,
    Rachel
