Wings on Wednesday – female American Kestrel

October 25, 2011 • Leave a Comment

A couple weeks ago, I was fortunate to see one of my favorite birds, American Kestrel. Previously, I saw these birds from the distance and mostly perched. This time I had a chance to photograph it much closer and in-flight.
Here is a series of photographs of a hovering female American Kestrel:
