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).

Been chasing this guy for some time now ......and Kestrels in general for MANY years now

But today I was very persistent and careful.....

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 !

Sony A77II, Minolta 500 AF mirror lens from car pod in decent light....

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

Great Shots. I love the Raptors! That's a short lens, typically hard too stabilize for moving subjects. Exc!

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!
