Do birds eat other birds? I had no idea they were cannibalistic. Nice capture, Kim.

MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR
What an amazing and rare capture Kim! Yes Jimbob, they do eat 'other' birds. This is a Peregrine Falcon, one of the few birds that preys almost exclusively on other birds. These birds hunt by diving from high altitudes, sometimes reaching speeds above 200 MPH! I was lucky enough to witness this once a few years ago in a downtown park - I heard a screech, and looked up just in time to see the feathers fly as it smashed into a pigeon. I commented to some strangers nearby, and they looked at me like I was crazy. I guess they didn't appreciate the wonder of nature as much as I did. Thank you for posting this, it brought back a great memory!

Poor bird, alone and cold. I can imagine it hates winter, and it's not the only one, LOL Nice shot.

It almost looks like a Red Tailed Hawk to me, I may be wrong. Great action photo.

Sorry I'm so far behind on my comments and responses - I've been working on part of a 900+ photo project from last summer. It is the cycle of life you've captured here, Kim. A bit pixelated but I'm sure the low light, distance from the action, and the cold had a lot to do with that. It doesn't detract from the shot, however, this type of photo a difficult and rare capture under any circumstance. Good job.
