Hawk making a duck its lunch.

he was trying to fly off with it, he pounced on the poor thing, held it under water for a while dragged it up on land and stood on it for a while, than he started tearing it apart, it got pretty gross at that point. 1

Just one of the realities of nature.

A suggestion - when you post a large number of images (3+) it would make it a lot easier to comment on a specific image if you numbered them. My favourite is the last one in the first set, #5 I believe.

Nice set. Good job of showing the kill without the gore.

I am not a huge fan of gore, I quit taking photos when it started to get gory. when he was on the ground i was shooting threw a fence and the fence had all kinds of vines and what not growing on it so i had to find a spot and move the junk out of the way and stick my lens almost up against the fence. it worked out pretty well though.

the funny thing is i saw my neighbor that lives behind us and one house over out with his big sigma lens too which was pretty cool, i had just met him earlier that day when I was out in my yard looking for some birds to photography and he started talking to me. than i saw him out shooting later that evening, I went out with my buddy, his wife and their kid and we had a nice time.
