[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
To wildlife photographers, living here is really great - I can assure you this. In case you wish to check, be my guest.

Earlier today, late in the morning, I had the time to take some shots. In order to do so, I decided to go through a different route, a region in the town called "Alvorada" (Dawn).

There, I found the guy above; its size is 30 to 40 centimeters. I have no idea about its identification, but the rather funny part about the situation is that I saw some little birds attacking this big fellow - and he flew away, after landing on a tree nearby. Unfortunately, I could not capture the attack.

Excellent shot Livio. Crystal clear details and superb colors. I really like the composition and the pose of the animal. Extremely well done & TFS!

Regards,
Pieter

Hi Livio,
was it hot on the peg - or why is he holding his leg up :-)
This is a very pretty bird, I like this brown colour and he's looking so majestic.
Very good shot, I like it very much, bye

Livio:
Very nice photograph! this bird is the Yellow-headed Caracara Milvago chimachima. This is about as good as a species illustration shot gets.
Regards, Nigel.

Your photos of birds are amazing. Always very good technically, perfectly framed and interesting.
This is just another perfect example :)
I like it very much.
VERY WELL DONE & TFS

One superb bird after another! Great job Livio. This one looks really good - fantastic pose, composition and feathers' colours. I can't ID this bird but it looks great for sure.

Excellent capture Livio,
Perfect detail, colour, sharpness and POV. Very well composed, excellent exposure.
Great BG, pose and framing.
Thanks for posting, have a good week.

I cannot help with the ID, but she is a beauty, although not particularly brave going from your note ;-) Perhaps she is injured?
Excellent composition and sharpness.
Thanks for posting.

One more good one, L. !

Good picture of an interesting bird, very good compo and very good quality.

Muito boa foto, parece que ela pensa enquanto descansa!! Gosto do ângulo que tirou!!!

Parabéns, belíssimo trabalho!

Francisco Sales

Detail, highlights, eye clarity, and color are all superb, a very professional shot.

Hi Livio, great pose and a great looking bird. I like the composition and it's great all round. I would be slightly tempted to clone out the white behind the birds head to give it more impact but apart from that it's a handsome picture.

Hi Livio,
Superb shot of this beautiful falconidae family species, unfortunately not present here. You are a lucky man man to have so many beautiful birds in Brazil :-). The shot is perfect and the sharpness is incredible. This is professional work where everything attracts the eye besides the typical pose. I like the composition with all elements well in phase.

Outstanding capture,what a regal pose,superb colour and detail...
You've captured this so perfectly IMO...
Well done...

Sempre que eu vejo uma ave que sei identificar alguém já a identificou.. hehehehhe

Em português é Gavião Carrapateiro, tem um close dele em minhas fotos.

Parabéns, é uma bela foto.

Hello Livio,

This is another handsome bird you have captured, I wonder if, as Julia suggests, that it may be hurt?

Fantastic details, and coloring, great POV, DOF, and pose.

Congratulations, once again!

Thank you.

Você é mais bonito que "nóis"...??!! Seus bichos estão sempre esperando... e ainda fazendo pose...!!! isso é covardia... He... He...
Ficou muito bom. Com uma excelente nitidez e composição. Cores, o fundo ótimo (como sempre!)
Obrigado!

I like this one Livio. Good composition, good sharpness, good OOF background and overall a well ballanced shot.

A truly beautiful shot. He looks really regal. I'll look at my book birds of prey of the world to see if I can find him. Thanks so much for sharing this one.
