There were two hawks, one with lunch in talon. Ghastly light to shoot in - it was dark again and they were against a layer of flat, gray clouds. Hopefully the pp isn't too horrible.

Very cool captures. Not bad at all, considering the conditions, especially second shot.
nice captures!!
Thanks, folks. Maybe next time it will be a bit lighter.
Very good action shots. What is the prey?
that second shot is a winner!
Thank you, Bambi and Owlp. Owlp, I can just see a short tail in both photos, especially the second one, so I'm guessing the prey is a gopher. It's a little too big to be a whistle pig. Both are all over the place right now.
I didn't actually see whatever it was caught. There was a second hawk trying to get it from the first, I think, and the second hawk was being harassed by a bird about the size of a red wing. I couldn't tell for sure that was what the bird was, but they're all over the place, too, and have a habit of dive bombing hawks.
