Great shots BTW. I would like to print a large image of a raptor to hang in the back yard to keep Sulphur-Crested Cockatoos out of the pecan tree. Thats the theory anyway. Could I use no 3, Dennis?
Hi Tony,

Thanks!

I’ve seen several bird shots where there are notches in the feathers, mostly in the end-of-wing location it seems. I am guessing that this may just be normal wear and tear caused by the bird flying through the foliage in tree tops when roosting, perching or observing?

Yes – you are welcome to use any of them although I’m sure Alex could provide you with even better, scarier shots of raptors!

Cheers

Dennis
