These guys seem to have a dark sense of humor, as they seem to start flying before I can get my camera up to my eye.

When you run your camera like a machine gun, you sometimes come across images you overlooked.

I took pro photographers advice today and went out in bad weather. They're not wrong.

Only time I see a raptor on the ground is when they have a kill. This one was just resting for a few minutes.
