American Kestrel.

The light was great as the snow covered ground provided great reflection.
Thanks for looking.

The placement of the kestrel is very nice. Good IQ as well,

Spectacular image of the kestrel, Karl! Love the pose, perch, comp. I do find the overall image a touch dark, but an easy tweak for this wonderful image!

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

Very nice one Karl, that snow is really helping here and loving the eye. Feathers looks good too.

[Sidharth Kodikal]

Super elegant image, Karl. Lovely bird, size in the frame, placement and details. Nice, lean perch against a clean bg. A successful image. I'd brighten up the bird a tad.

[Jim Crosswell]
