Dik-diks are the smallest antelopes and stand about 30–40 centimetres (12–15.5 in) at the shoulder, are 50–70 cm (19.5–27.5 in) long, weigh 3–6 kilograms (6.6–13.2 lb), not much different from the 5DSR + 100-400mm II + TC used for the picture.So it was a hoof. I didn't think there was a hoofed animal small for the eagle to lift. Obviously, I was wrong.
Look at the feet of the prey.This one is more difficult - home in on the prey and ignore the blood on the Martial's beak.

This is a new one for me, a brown creeper. I hear them a lot, but this was the first time I got to see one. It's a small bird, about the same size as a chickadee.
+1!Hi storioni,
Welcome to CR.
Very nice pictures. I especially like the last one.
Many thanks to everyone for the warm welcome and encouragement!
The photos were taken this summer in Bird Heaven aka Costa Rica. I've got quite a large collection of birds from those 2 and a half weeks while I was there. But I'll try not to spam this thread too much
I would direct the same question towards ISv, which Islands are there in question? Impressive and picturesque birds!
Just one more for now, a Collared Redstart, or as the natives call it - "Amigo de hombre" due to its friendly and trustful character.
