Bird of Prey

in #nature7 years ago (edited)

I was doing some work in the backyard again listening to the doves call back and forth when a stranger appeared in the trees.

Ran inside to get my camera and started filming. I was under the impression that some of the smaller birds were gonna get attacked.

He was looking all over for a tasty meal and I was doing my best to capture the indecent.

Watching silently from the near top of the tree, he waited. I was getting more and more excited and could not keep my camera very still.

At this point I think he started to zero in on a target or I was getting him upset. I was only able to capture two more shots before he took off.

After that last picture he took off, first flying somewhat in my direction then lost him. Didn't see him any more that day.
