Had some time to kill before a movie yesterday and was lucky enough to find this female American Kestrel on a wire surveying an (as yet) undeveloped parcel of land in Georgetown. She graced me with her presence for about 45 minutes!

Well done! She’s puffed up because it was a cool day?


It was cool, but not cold. She was doing a lot of preening and feather maintenance so maybe that was why she was puffed up.

It was very windy, now that I think about it, so she was probably feeling cold from just sitting there.

Thanks, glad you all liked the shot.

Kestrels are beautiful birds, and this one gave me a great look and I tried to take the most of the opportunity.
