[ERHP]

Two predators and only one survivor. Red Tail Hawk prevails over Diamond Back Rattlesnake. Caught this back on April 2, 2015 with my 70D and 400mm F5.6L.

Really Cool shot!

The black-crowned night heron (Nycticorax nycticorax), commonly abbreviated to just night heron in Eurasia, is a medium-sized heron found throughout a large part of the world, except in the coldest regions and Australasia (where it is replaced by the closely related rufous night heron, with which it has hybridized in the area of contact).

I should have used a lower iso for less noise , but i was trying to get a shot of a vulture on the ground in the shadows when i saw this guy overhead and didnt have time to change any settings. this was with a brand new 7d II that i just picked up yesterday.

7DII , 400 f5.6 , f7.1 , 1/5000 , iso 800

Astounding. How many times did you have to ask the Robin to repeat the manoeuvre before you got the shot?!

Very challenging, but rewarding when you succeed. Success was not very high either. I think I had more empty frames than keepers.
