This guy was about 30 ft from the road and stayed put while I got the passenger window down and twisted around (with my seatbelt on) to get a shot. About two seconds later he was gone.
I was in such an awkward position I thought for sure I'd blown the shot but......for once I got lucky.
God bless 4 stop IS.

A handsome fellow, terrific shot! My favorite of the mini-raptors.

Image stabilization. Different manufacturers call it different things but.....it helps overcome camera shake. In the case of the camera/lens I was using, the manufacturer claims that the IS gives you the ability to shoot, hand held, 4 stop slower that without the IS.
I'm sure there are better explanations available on the web but.......I think that's the gist of it.

Thank you Linda. I too am a big fan of the Kestrel. Maybe......If I live long enough, I'll catch one in flight.
