This is a special one for me for 2 reasons: it made it on to the National Geographic your shot website, and one of the few wildlife shots that I have that I think doubles as art.

Thanks for the wonderful comments. :)

This seems like an excellent choice for a Best of challenge. Beautiful detail in the bird and berries in the foreground and interesting movement in the bird in the background. Captivating shot.

Poor Charles never saw it coming. From out of the mists, striking with a speed and ferocity unmatched, the dreaded (and, some thought, mythical) Hammerheaded Hawk attacked.
