"Stuff is eaten by dogs, broken by family and friends, sanded down by the wind, frozen by the mountains, lost by the prairie, burnt off by the sun, washed away by the rain. So you are left with dogs, family, friends, sun, rain, wind, prairie and mountains. What more do you want?"

Stoop
Perfect shot of a Merlin stooping in England courtesy of John Loft, the living master of Merlins -- right click for big.
Not sure you will get this. But link below is worth a look for you eagle lovers to see our Australian wedgetail eagles in action. Unfortunately, no hunting with eagles allowed here in Australia. But a lot of wild ones about. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-12-05/eagle-preys-on-live-fox/5138416 I enjoy your rifle/gun posts and wish you would do another 'Good Guns Again'!
Wedge tails are very interesting eagles-- long and slender, oddest of genus Aquila, but from all accounts (& this photo) serious large- prey predators. I wish someone could fly them as falconry birds.
