"Precision Landing" American Kestrel

[James Salywoda]

American Kestrel

I like the intense concentration as this Kestrel is about to land the perch is what it is.... especially with birds of prey they are in control.:D

Excellent pose and light James. No qualms here about the perch!

Another beauty. Love the concentration as it's about to hit the perch...beautiful light as well.

Great wing position and a really focused stare by the bird.

[Grace Scalzo]

Lovely light and details, Jim.

Jim, just love the warm colours here, and excellent timing to capture the second before touch down. Good to see the full wingspread.

I prefer this one to your previous...lots more interest! I just wish for the eye and its socket to be better lit by the sunlight.

Another beautiful image James. I like this one just a bit better but I still like the other one:)
