Awesome set of captures. This is part of nature. Are these your shots?

Sorry for the slow response.

No these are not mine; I wish they were and I wish I had a 600mm f4. My understanding is they were taken at San Joaquin Wildlife Sanctuary, a local favorite for primarily ducks and shorebirds.

I know the feeling, I most often name Kestrels as my favorite raptors. I hope Thang decides to keep every shot after the feather pluck to himself/herself.
