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.

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!

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.
