It was actually sunny! They were up in the top of the acorn woodpecker's tree.

I was told by a member here that the two photos posted above were not sharp because I hand held the lens. I believe that it is because they were severely cropped, I doubt I or anyone else could have done much better with a tripod. I guess I need to look for closer birds, maybe in an aviary.
Here's one of the full frames in case he's following. BTW, This shot was also hand held @700mm: http://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-505748-1.html
Enough already.

Fantastic shots Victor. Love the moss in the first. It really adds to the shot. I had three places I could go and see Kestrels every summer. Haven't seen one there in three years.

Thank you Donna, Jack, Bob, JoeB, AngelaK and Doc for the kind words.
Doc, You might consider putting up a kestrel box somewhere. If you build it, they may come. :-0 Or perhaps a screech owl or flicker in the meantime.
