Just when I think you can't get any better, you post yet another cracker jack image. This is wildly beautiful and exciting.

Alan, what a pose! I love the colors and patterns on a male kestrel and your photo shows why. Nice and sharp, well done!

Is this a painting? Was Scott back in NJ by this time?

**Marina Scarr** · 10-23-2011, 06:10 AM

Ditto Grace. I see a cover in this photographs future. How does a decoy owl attract rather than scare the kestrel?

**Craig Kerr** · 10-23-2011, 06:12 AM

I must agree, it's a cracker of a shot... Detail and colors are beautiful with a great pose.

Hawks will mob an Owl if they find in daylight.
