My new favorite local raptor - but I still haven't gotten that "killer shot" - yet.

'Killer Shot'?? I'd say this one qualifies!

Thanks Ian -
I was focusing on this one on a phone line getting ready for another mediocre shot when it flew. Toward me ! and landed in this small tree. I was so excited I could barely focus. Thanks so much for the kind words.

That really is a great shot! I just saw my first two kestrels yesterday at a local park, and they really are an amazing sight.

Thanks Y'all

And Dan, I only found this one (or possibly two) a couple of weeks ago. Now it seems to be around almost everytime I visit this local farm. They are really fun to watch. I love the way they hover ! Thanks again for the compliments everyone.

What a little beauty the American Kestrel is.

Really great shot too.
