I had to do a double take at this one.
Here's mine taken last May.
BTW, the turkey vulture shot is really good.:D

Nice Shots Ben, I think I like the Eagle the best.

I went out in the middle of the day, thurs, as I mentioned. I thought there might be raptors where I went as there are lots of trees and broken stumps. Broken trees, and it is by the marsh.

I didn't see any. I know I already posted on this, and I am probably going to have to find out through some wildlife expert, but I sure envy you your raptors.

Good shots!!!
