Awesome kestrel shots, Brent. I have been trying like crazy to get some decent kestrel shots and haven’t been successful yet. Nice work!

Great photos! I love Kestrels. My first sightings of them as a birder were on my way to Malhuer NWR in Oregon. I have been in awe of them ever since. Two or three pairs nest in my neighborhood in the foothills above Boise. I hope to get top drawer photos like yours of such cool birds.

Thank you both for taking the time to leave a comment… much appreciated! This was one Kestrel that didn’t mind having its picture taken…. usually I’m not so lucky

What a terrific study of the Kestrel. All wonderful shots. I particularly like the 3rd shot with the light coming through the wing. Thanks for sharing. Your photos are always a knockout.

Over a year later they are still trying to clean up 819,000 gallons of oil that Enbridge spilled into the Kalamazoo River near Marshall Michigan.
It's also worth noting that Canadian taxpayers will be on the hook for billions of dollars in clean up costs from a catastrophic oil spill from the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline tankers.

The 225 tankers per year that will have to navigate some of the most treacherous waters in the world, along the B.C. coast & Douglas Channel, will each carry 500,000 more barrels of oil than the Exxon Valdez!
