Very cool shots Ron. Nice find. I've yet to get any decent shots of these critters. Good work.

Thanks Tim for viewing and your comments...this was my first time to get some decent shots of them...I had observed these birds for about 15 minutes noticing that they were flying back and forth between about 5 different trees swooping down to catch something to eat and then flying back to one of the trees...so I picked out a good spot among the trees with good sunlight and set down on my folding stool...didn't take them long to get used to me being there...
