saw and rated in both sections

Nice shot.

For 20 years I owned a house with two big Italian Cypress trees that were just high rise bird apartment houses and we had a family of American Kestrals in the area. Every so often I would open the front or back door and go out, find I distrubed one of them dining and then get told off from the power lines or a high tree branch until I went back inside.
They can be very mouthy little things with a super sized attitude. It was kind of cute.

I wasn't into bird photography then.
