My first photograph of American Kestrel I took three years ago and since that I never seen this bird again.
Two days ago was my chance to take more photos of this beautiful bird but at the begging I almost missed this opportunity because all my equipment was already packed.
When I repacked my equipment and was ready to take photos of kestrel of course, the bird was gone. But in a few minutes I saw the same male kestrel again and started my "hunt."
I was passing the poles along the road where kestrel was perching for a short while but immediately flying away with my approach. When I reached the fourth pole without any hope to take one decent photograph, for some unknown reason a kestrel decided to be cooperative.

The American Kestrel is the most colorful and the smallest falcon in North America. They live between 10 to 15 years.

ReplyDeleteEn ocasiones, siguiendo las carreteras de la meseta en España, he podido observar a los cernícalos, bien apostados en lo alto de los postes de telefonía, bien suspendidos en el aire, detenidos sobre un punto concreto, con un leve movimiento de sus alas .
