Sailplane with Hawk/Eagle Photos Wanted

Anybody have photos of a sailplane in flight with hawks or eagles. The
size deltas are pretty extreme and I suspect a good/great photo may be
hard to come by ...

I have been inspired by some of the RAS content and am sprucing up the
SRA site ... feel free to contribute photos, article, ideas ... thanks
....

How about a buzzard? Here's a picture I took:

Hmmmm ... I don't know ... I think I'm pushing my luck calling both
eagles and hawks 'raptors' ... I think the bird guys would call me on
this one ... nice picture though ... what were you flying? Have any
pictures of sailplanes/contests/etc?

Raptor is defined as follows:

A bird that hunts and eats meat; also known as bird of prey. Raptors use
their talons to catch their food and their strong, curved beaks for tearing
food into bite-sized pieces. Falcons, hawks, eagles, and owls are raptors.

I was flying a PW5, trying to stay well above the fields infested w/randy
bovines.
I've got some grid shots of contests--one a Lubbock a few years back is
pretty impressive with about 80 ships lined up and ready to go.
No shots w/both birds & sailplanes

Here's one of a hawk circling a ridge with a bull elk hiding in the
bushes below taken in Utah
last year.

Go look at Neils pix
www.whiteplanes.com

go to showcase, go to Pyreenean birds.
All these raptor shot are air-to-air, Neil might have other pix with
both aircraft and bird in the frame (which I guess is what you want).
Mail him with a request, if he has anything I'm sure he'd be happy to
do business.
