While on the last 100 yards of my commute this evening I spotted this red tailed hawk and an even more magnificent owl perched on the fence of the horse farm across the street from us. They were competing over a dead carcass in the field. I raced home to grab my telephoto lens and returned only to find the owl no longer there. As much as I had hoped for an image of the owl it is hard to be unhappy with the shot I managed of the hawk. Click for a larger image and check out the talons.
