Missed this one earlier, but don't know how. It is quite a capture.

thanks Tania, am glad you see the funny side to this one also : )

Had sortof forgotten about this, as it's sometime since we were out taking the wildlife shots around here.

I agree this is a great Nat Geo photo. the "exiting fluid" is just as sharp as the bird lol. Would not think that would be easy. I to am glad you were not standing in the line of fire

thanks Alex D, for the nice comments. - had stopped to capture some shots from farther away when this happened, - figured at least I'd get a couple of shots incase the hawk took off, as they usually do when they see me approaching. So I spotted this happening, but didn't realize it had been captured by the camera as it happened. It's too bad I hadn't been a bit closer, as those shots are clearer, naturally, - but who can choose, right.

thanks Karen, glad you saw the funny side of it :) thanks also for the info. I think I had heard that somewhere along the way but wasn't sure.

Holy Hawk crap, what a wild capture. Great timing Alandra. I am way behind on viewing and writing comments, but I saw this one and had to take a minute. Unique capture for sure, Don

Ewww what a great photo of yuckeyness LOL.. This has to be a one in a million shot, I have never seen a photo of a bird doing it business before. You really need to get a life ROFL...

This one really got me laughing. I can't believe you captured that moment so well! Lol! I think birds are like snakes. They have one opening, the cloaca, and the liquids and solids are expelled together. Sometimes white and sometimes dark and slimey. Lol!!
