The Scream(snake version)

Driving at work today I saw a Red Tailed Hawk on the ground and pulled over to see if I could get a shot. He took off quickly and conditions were less than optimal. Even so, I did get an action theme worthy image of the last moments of this Gopher snakes life.

Whoa. When I first glanced at the photo, I thought the snake and the hawk was one thing... it freaked me out for a second!
This is a great shot, though!!

[Ellen Chasse]

Oh dear--I'm picturing a Munch face on that snake--not pretty! Great capture of this too, though

[Robert Velten]

Exactly Clarissa, I saw the snakes mouth open as it was writhing in those talons. All I could think was a primal scream or a stream of snake cusssssssing!

[Sarah-Jane]

What an awesome capture..definitley not something you see everyday, I love it!

[Heidi]

Wow, that's what a professional photographer in my state conservation magazine would probably call a "peak moment". Impressive, the more so since it was a snapshot.
