Bird in Flight

Coming out of a meeting and saw this raptor flying. Quickly got the camera out of the car and took the shot.

You had time anough to get your camera out and ready? I miss the flight of the raptor but mostly we see one coming over the field when we're passing it in the car..great shot, Harry.

@bruni Thank you Bruni, I saw him in the tree first and by the time I got the camera out he started to fly away
