Not much here. Was driving by and noticed him on the telephone wire. Stopped, rolled down window and he actually stayed put for a second! Took a few shots, and off he went to eat his lunch.

Hi Judi,
Photographing kestrels is so tough! Nice that you caught this one with prey and I like the glance in our direction. Too bad the bird was not on a natural perch but this is still a fine catch. I could see darkening highlights on the chest of the bird.
I like how the Kestel is looking at you and the prey is a nice bonus. I think I see more Kestrel’s on wires than anywhere else. I wonder if more of the color on the back could be brought out and maybe increase contrast on the chest.
Thanks so much for looking and commenting, I appreciate it. Yes, most of the kestrels I see seem to be on a power line. Just like hawks, seem to like the electrical poles.
