Fresh from Chile ....an American Kestrel (Falco sparverius)

Long way to add a new bird. The mirrored windows in the hotel let me observe him for a long time and photo came out okay. Was fun watching him eye the weeds below for something to eat.

LOL all that way to find one of your own eh David?

You got a super picture (even TTTW) and a great pose too. Very well done laddie.

Thanks
A Canadian chasing an "American" bird all the way to Chile does seem odd.
Beginning to think one way windows have some advantages especially with skittish raptors. He was 4-5 meters away but completely unaware so I could observe him acting without interference of my presence.
