coming in for a landing by lbmcshutter

coming in for a landing

whenever I m driving anywhere I have my camera on the passenger seat and am ready to pull over to take a photo, I keep alert by constantly looking around me for something interesting.
Today it was three raptors in a dead tree, siblings I assumed as they were all of similar size - unfortunately they took off as soon as I stopped the car, one decided to come back in for a landing, but before I could get in better position his brother also wanted to land and they both flew away. Not sure where the third went.
Nevertheless I am always in awe of the power of these birds, I love the extended "fingers" on their wings, the curve of the beak
wow ... great capture!!
