American Kestrel

Kestrels were my favorite birds in the UK. When I moved to Boston I read that American Kestrel was is. I met a guy while birding and asked him where I might get a chance to spot them "If I knew, I wouldn't tell you [implication that I would steal the eggs!]". So imagine how happy I was to spend 5 minutes beneath this hunting bird on my (his?) local patch and get a decent picture!
