"Precision Landing" American Kestrel

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

Thanks For Looking

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.

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.

great landing shot with nice light,posture and composition

Great timing and pose. Great job getting this guy in action.

Great timing and wonderful light!

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:)
