Often we see "moochers", where one bird will catch prey and another wants it.
On the last image I am debating whether or not to remove the Harrier wing tip from the upper right corner. One part of me says "Get rid of it, it's annoying", another part says "Leave it in, you can see that is what the Owl is looking at". What do you folks all think?

I have mixed feelings about the last shot. I agree with Twick that the wing is distracting. But without it, the shot isn't much different than the third shot. In a perfect world I'd have actually liked to see just a little more of the harrier - say a little bit of it's body.
I guess you'll just have to work on your stage direction!
I have to agree, id go without the wingtip. If u had more of the hawk it would be nice but its still a nice set with good light. The first one with both birds does a good job of telling the story.
My first instinct is to like the wingtip, it's part of the story. But I think the other folks are right, there's just not enough of it.
On the other hand, if you're showing the shots as a series, as you've done here, then the wingtip may work better.
I went into photoshop and played around a bit. I removed the wingtip using content aware fill, but then there was too much white space above the bird. So I tightened up the crop a bit, and came up with this.
I also moved your copyright, having it in the upper corner was cluttering things a bit once I tightened the crop.
