Isn't she beautiful! Such sweet soft light and colour palette Terry, well worth a click to see the lovely detail - and you could drown in those eyes!

Terry, great set, enjoyed your male Kestrel earlier, and now this beautiful female.  Love the perch, puffy pose and complementary BG, super nice.

Very nice. Love the eye level perspective, soft light, clean background and the berry bush perch.

Thank you ALL.

I have been known to complain about American Kestrels always waiting until the shutter is about to engage and then fly away.
Very very lucky on this morning. I have am image of the pair perched together I will share later.
