As I took this photo, the hawk spotted me and grabbed the remains of

his meal and flew off.

20% left & bottom (vegetation)

As I was driving away from a local pond I spotted this heron fishing,

so stopped the car and ran out, grabbing the nearest available body,

and fired away. Lighting was not ideal, but it is what it is.
