American Kestrel

This guy actually sat still long enough for me to get a couple of shots of him. I'm not sure I like how blue LR made the sky behind him, but it was a blue, cloudless day, so I guess it's OK. As the Fall turns into Winter, the Kestrals will be less flighty, so maybe some better shots in January/February.

Kestrel's are a very pretty bird of prey. I like this shot, it's sharp with nice color.

Very nice image. I'd love to get one of those around here.

Thank you! We have several in the area, and they are a fast little bird. Once the grasshoppers disappear, they'll start preying on the sparrows and mice.
