Crested Caracara braking to land in full flare

[Arthur Morris]

This image (baited) was created on 7 November 2020 at the morning raptor blind at the fabulous Laguna Seca Ranch in Hidalgo County, TX. I used the handheld Sony FE 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 G OSS lens (at 448mm) and the blazingly fast AF King, the Sony Alpha a9 II Mirrorless Digital camera body. ISO 2500. Exposure determined by Zebras with ISO on the rear wheel: 1/2000 sec. at f/6.3 in Manual mode. AWB at 9:10am on a cloudy-bright morning. Center Zone AF-C was active at the moment of exposure and performed superbly.

All comments are welcome and appreciated.
