Ahh.. He sees fresh killed meat; a squirrel!
He pounces on it to get a good talon hold.
Admiring and guarding his prize. Shortly after this, he flew off with the squirrel firmly between his talons like an Eagle with a fish. I was changing settings to catch the flight but I was too late; he had flown. In doing so, he performs a valuable street cleaning service.

The question is. Why didn't it fly off when it saw you? Great bird.
This picture is a BIG ONE fav, and magnificent.
Please post it in our pool
The BIG ONE...

Thanks Everyone for your nice thoughts!
Alofbird: It would have flown off but for two reasons, I believe. (After all, how can I know?) 1) I stayed in the car (it acting as a blind) and 2) the squirrel was worth it!
