I just love birds of pray. They to me are so stealth, deadly, and beautiful all at the same time. You see one of these birds and knows its very good at tracking down and capturing its pray. Beautiful colors here, I love the presentation and the beauty of the bird you bring out Jeff.
Have a great weekend my friend. #10681364
