And he was successful. Seconds later, he caught a Zitting Cisticola for a meal. This is a migratory raptor from Central Asia that come in large numbers during winters to India. They can be commonly seen across the countryside and mostly in grasslands where they roost communally.
We sighted one on this fence preening and he spent around 5 minutes cleaning himself up. Then suddenly he dived flew behind the vehicle and landed in a far away field. He had a Zitting Cisticola, a small warbler in his claws which he finished pretty quickly.
Thanks so much in advance for your views, faves and feedback.

...the more Successful the Picture.

This Bad Boy is the Villain of my feeder. He seems to know exactly when I put out bird food of the type he likes. Within minutes, he’s marauding around the feeder throwing food-bits left and right until he discovers the treat he is looking for : )
American Crows are large, intelligent, all-black birds with hoarse, cawing voices. They are common sights in treetops, fields, and roadsides, and in habitats ranging from open woods and empty beaches to town centers. They usually feed on the ground and eat almost anything – typically earthworms, insects and other small animals, seeds, and fruit but also garbage, carrion, and chicks they rob from nests.
American Crows congregate in large numbers in winter to sleep in communal roosts. These roosts can be of a few hundred up to two million crows. Some roosts have been forming in the same general area for well over 100 years. In the last few decades some of these roosts have moved into urban areas where the noise and mess cause conflicts with people.
Young American Crows do not breed until they are at least two years old, and most do not breed until they are four or more. In most populations the young help their parents raise young for a few years. Families may include up to 15 individuals and contain young from five different years.
Crows sometimes make and use tools. Examples include a captive crow using a cup to carry water over to a bowl of dry mash; shaping a piece of wood and then sticking it into a hole in a fence post in search of food; and breaking off pieces of pine cone to drop on tree climbers near a nest.
The oldest recorded wild American Crow was at least 16 years 4 months old when it was recaptured and rereleased during a banding operation in New York. A captive crow in New York lived to be 59 years old.

Having successfully traversed the spiral tunnels and the Kicking Horse Pass, CP 1401 winds its way through the S curves on the approach to control point Ottertail. Having shot this location in the past, I knew this scene with the peak of Mt. Carnarvon in Yoho National Park off in the distance was a must when I was location planning for this trip.

A successful hunt for the Pied Kingfisher - - but the fish is almost as big as him - - he carried this around from one side of the pond to the other; trying to hammer it on a number of different shaped rocks in the hopes of killing it - in hindsight video would have been really good for this but its never where my mind is

Seen at Tawharanui Peninsula, New Zealand.
Saddlebacks were widespread in New Zealand, but their numbers rapidly declined following the introduction of predatory mammals, especially ship rats and stoats, by early settlers. By the early 1900s, North Island saddlebacks were confined to a single Island off the northeast coast of the North Island. A series of successful bird translocations started in the 1960s. There are now 15 island populations and five at predator-fenced mainland sites.
The population here on the Tawharanui Peninsula were introduced in 2012, and they are now thriving in the relatively safe predator-fenced environment.
Finally successful! After a long wait, I was finally able to photograph the siblings together.
Endlich geglückt, nach langer Wartezeit konnte ich endlich das Geschwisterpaar gemeinsam fotografieren.

We attended a special guided tour early in the morning, before opening time.
This allowed me to take these photos of the siblings through the glass pane in peace.
Wir besuchten eine spezielle Führung in der Früh, vor der Öffnungszeit.
Dadurch konnte ich in Ruhe diese Aufnahmen der Geschwister durch die Glasscheibe machen.

Having successfully kept Rebel Rooster under his protective care, Jasper stood tall and proud. It was a rousing chase around the family room.
I use the term "under protective care" loosely. On Rebel Rooster's first day with Jasper, he lost an eyeball to Jasper's teeth. But luckily, in between being a fighter jet pilot and being a nuclear physicist, I spent some time as an eye surgeon so I was able to reattach Rebel's eyeball and he's fully stereoscopic again.

And, I am still learning how to use Photoshop!

after so many dull, grey, rainy and cold days, we finally get some sunny, cold days. Perfect weather for the peregrine falcon to hunt. In this case a feral pigeon, the main food source for peregrines at this site at the river Rhine in Cologne. I wonder if I can ever witness a peregrine's parakeet-hunt.
Hi Everyone!
A successful fishing trip and a little bit of jealousy! It turned out that the Pelicans on the left tried to grab the fish. During the scuffle, the fish was dropped into the water and immediately snatched up by a totally different pelican!

I appreciate you taking the time to view and comment on this image, THANK YOU! Have a wonderful day today!

Mira and Nelli, not searching for the weekend
but for the first mouse they ever saw
(and finally successfully caught) in their lives.
TGIF !
I can't say the same thing about the photographer, since I forgot to reset the shutter speed on my camera and had a lot of blurry shots! (I'm surprised I got any in focus). The Red-tailed hawk flew across the road in front of me and caught a mouse or vole. It proceeded to devour its prey in all its bloody goriness. Those of you who hate that kind of shot will be happy to know they all came out blurry. It took less than a minute for the prey to be devoured.
Red-necked Grebe; a rare bird this far south. Because of the dark lines on its cheeks, this is likely a first year bird.
