A fine shot Don...but I am going to be brutal...the frame has to go, I don't know whether to look at the frame or the bird. Give you a hint...the bird is much better looking.

Wish I could tell you what it was. My first thought was a hawk but it isnt colored as the ones around here are so I'm not sure. It is a nice shot whatever it is Don! You've heard enough about the frame so I wont chime in. lol At least it's an easy enough one to fix!

It doesn't have the hooked beak of a hawk or an eagle. I'm inclined to think it's a crow. Crows are surprisingly large, up close, and definitely noisy.
Could even be a raven. They're in most of Canada, excluding the part that juts down between Michigan and New York.
The rainbow colors definitely draw attention away from the bird of prey...If you're going to use a background...use a solid color of some kind, preferrably a darker one...Good capture, otherwise...

I think it's a crow too Don, but whatever it is you're capture is beautiful and the frame takes to much attention away from that fact I think, it's a very good shot though my friend !!
I'm way behind so forgive me for not commening on your individual posts but know that I've looked at all of them since I left. I truly enjoy seeing all of your posts and am always happy to see you at My Gallery. Thanks, Anita
Bird yes of course like the others no on the frame. It does remind me of a hawk but crows are noisy. ?? Thanks for a sharing this one I like the wing span shot. Sandi
A wonderful capture of this bird - excellent in fact, and I particularly like the grey sky which gives it a slightly ominous feel. I wonder how it would look in B/W.
I won't make mention of the frame :)
Yup - as a " bird woman" I would say crow or raven - don't know where you took this - and yes - needs new frame - would really love to see closer detail of mostly bird. But on a GOOD note - you caught it at a good angle - showing a bird in flight - not always easy to do.
