American Kestrel With Moxie
I suppose it’s redundant to point out a kestrel with moxie – all kestrels have moxie by definition. But this one made that fact unusually obvious.

Feedback From HawkWatch International About Yesterday’s Banded Kestrel
As promised, here’s what I now know about the banded male American Kestrel I photographed on Christmas morning.
American Kestrel Takeoff In A Near Whiteout (+ a little surprise)
An American Kestrel, Rabbitbrush And Snow
Snow-covered rabbitbrush is a perch I wish birds would use more often. Its seed heads often stay yellow until winter and when it’s covered with snow I think it makes an attractive and interesting setting for most any bird. But when the subject is a colorful male American Kestrel the combination can be particularly striking.
Some Recent Birds In My World
This selection of seven photos is a fairly representative cross-section of the bird species I’ve been seeing recently.
American Kestrel Struggling With Wet, Sticky Pipit Feathers In The Snow
American Kestrel – A Stiff-legged Takeoff
A Landing American Kestrel
Photos of birds as they land are a challenge, especially when your subject is a quick little falcon.
Male American Kestrel At Takeoff And In Flight
Because of their small size and quickness kestrels are the most challenging raptor I attempt to photograph at takeoff.
Male American Kestrel – Blue On Blue
Directly or indirectly I learned at least three important lessons about photography from this beautiful male kestrel.
A Startled American Kestrel
How The Kindness Of A Stranger Kept Me From Giving Up Photography
American Kestrel – The Big Stretch
Within about 10 seconds this male kestrel gave me just about every conceivable stretching pose in the book.
Female American Kestrel Feeding On A Vole
This pretty little female kestrel enjoyed a vole breakfast yesterday morning along the causeway to Antelope Island. I’ll spare you most of the gory details but raptor feeding behavior is one of the many behaviors that I find interesting.
Male American Kestrel – An Image Where (Almost) Everything Came Together
Most often on this blog I share my photographic successes but occasionally I can’t resist ranting over one of my near-misses.
