[QUOTE="Jon, post: 58153, member: 4945"] I was sitting in our backyard enjoying the summer like weather with a beer in my hand. This bird flew down and captured his/her prey. My first instinct was to drop my beer on the floor and ran for my camera. Good thing I was able to get at least 3 shots before it flew out again to boast his/her meal to fellow feathered friends. Does anybody know what kind of bird is this? I hope my pic did justice to the bird's conquest. By the way, there was no beer spilled when this picture was taken. Every drop was all accounted for. Thanks for your concern for the beer.
