I went back to a soccer field that adjoins a large section of vacant land where a number of raptors and other birds hang out. Spotted the Kestrel (again) getting a late afternoon snack. Admittedly I did use PS's sky replacement as I did not like the original sky. Shot with Nikon D500 80-400. Best viewed in download. Thanks for viewing.

The images of the kestrel are very nice. I personally don't care for sky replacement, although this is not bad, but it looks like the sun is coming from two different directions. Although you could have used fill-in flash to get these images, which would have been impressive!
