This hawk took off like a shot after a duck he spotted flying his way. I lost sight of the encounter when the duck dropped below the tree line. Moments later the hawk flew back into a tree without the duck. That was one lucky duck! :) Took this yesterday.

WOW! Awesome capture, POV, details, lighting, everything!! Will you look at the intensity on it's face? It was thinking "duck dinner" all the way!! FAV!
Oh, Kerry, wow! I love the sharp focus on the eye as well as the blur indicating wing action. What an amazing experience watching this beautiful hawk must have been for you!
