This is an adult Great Black Hawk (Buteogallus urubitinga) the split second before snatching a fish from the water. Its bizarre scientific name urubitinga is a native Brazilian (Tupi) word for this bird. It is found in wooded and watery habitats throughout Central and South America.
Taken with Nikon D500 Nikkor 300mm f4 lens f4 1/1600 ISO 560

So what sort of numbwit disliked this picture? An anti predator tosser or what? it is a great picture whether or not you like the subject, which I do.
Thanks Paul. My kids made a similar comment a few weeks back and said how out of kilter it was with the rest of the internet (some parallels there?). It amuses me.
