Excellent results, Larry. I appreciate your results because I know how difficult these birds are to photograph. I know that we have two in my my area but I am yet to get a photo of them (not even a bad one, lol).

These are big crops - even with 500mm's - and technically leave me wanting
But, with this subject, it IS the content that counts and I am therefore somewhat content
- and surprised that I got what I got considering the speed challenge !

I WILL be pursuing this guy some more in the future for sure !

Nice set Larry and these are a difficult subject.
Glad you were able to get these shots.

Super Kestrel Series Larry!!
Great Shots. I love the Raptors! That's a short lens, typically hard too stabilize for moving subjects. Exc!
Beautiful! Fun to see the results of persistence.
Terrific job Larry. Persistence does pay off, this proves it. They are quick and not very large. These are great captures.

from my perspective 1 and 4 are very good; 2 and 3 are interesting but the pictures are not good enough.
Nicely done. I'm so bad with birds, but I love seeing everyone else's shots!
