birds of prey close up and personal

Went to the mall today and they had a bird show going on, the place was packed with both adults and kids in awe of these amazing birds. Here are 2 really close up shots using a 100-400mm with an iso of 2500 just to catch the light at the distance I was at.

And one from my yard, I thought it looked kind of neat so I decided to post it as well.

spring is in the air

Got out and shot off a couple of pics down at our local lake. There were a bunch of birds enjoying the warmth of the sun and looking for food in the melting snow.
Here they are.
