Grab-n-Go Meal

Two years ago during our New Year's break we went to a ryokan on the Ise peninsula, after which I posed about the great quantities of great food we were served. From the seaside balcony of our room on that trip, I happened to catch a few frames of a bird of prey taking the easy route and going with a prepared meal (stealing from a crow) instead of catching one itself....

This was two years ago not only in terms of time, but in equipment and skill as well, so the shots aren't great, but I thought it was at least a bit interesting.


Comments so far....

Much as I hate disagreeing with you on anything, I think these shots ARE great. Highly unusual that you could get them at all. Could you tell what is was exactly on the take-out menu? I couldn’t make anything out.

Wow, those are GREAT! Does anyone know if that’s a Golden Eagle, or just an enormous hawk? He’s beautiful in any case.
