[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a gavião. It feeds mainly on chicks and eggs - that's why hens hate and fear them.

The one which is depicted here has approximately 20 centimeters, and it is a grown-up. Some species may have 38 cm. Here in Brazil, they can be found mainly in country areas.

The photo was taken in Pindaíbas, a very small town some 30 kilometers away from the one where I live.

Beautiful bird of prey Livio. Lots of details and wonderful colours. I just cannot believe how you got that close to the bird, it looks like you could have touched it. Well done.

Outra bela foto Livio. Esta com boa nitidez e cores agraveis. Como disse o Mogens, voce teve uma boa aproximação.

Parabéns.

Livio, Very good sharpness & detail. Great lookin' bird done very well! TFS

Excellent Livio. Could be a Postcard. Good job on post processing (would be interesting to know what you did for pp). Very good colors, sharpness and background.

Beautiful color and detail.This bird looks very much the same as the American Kestrel I've seen in the summer around the country side in Ontario,Canada.Thanks for sharing this wonderful bird of prey.

He looks like an aristocrate :-) Great colours and really fantastic photo!

Excellent sharp photo!
There is not much to say about such a great photo, just one thing, the BG looks like it's not real, like it was edited in PS and I would like to see the real BG of that picture because such a good pic cant have a bad BG!

WellDone!

Excellent colour and detail, everything is pretty much perfect on this.
