This little falcon (9-12") actually let me snap its photo; so far this is the best shot I've gotten of a kestrel.
...And just like the ferruginous hawk in yesterday's post, eventually the kestrel got fed up with the unwelcome company, and flew off...
That kestrel, almost looks dainty, sitting on the wire...not at all like a bird of prey!
ReplyDeleteThat Kestrel looks so cute, all fluffed up! Very nice photo.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures of the "sparrow hawk." We have a lot winter near here and they are sure fun to watch.
ReplyDeleteWe have a little kestrel that patrols the fields and roadsides where I work. I think they are the prettiest hawks. Used to have one on the farm but the larger red tails drove it away.
