An area where Harriers-Red Tails and Bald Eagles may appear at any moment. This Kestrel took a quick break but was on alert.

Such a sweet pose from this lovely kestrel, Terry - being one of the smallest raptors must put them on constant alert when the big guys are around!

What a beautiful scene. Never seen a Kestrel on a rose bush. Love the upward stare and the smooth green BG too.
Only suggestion would be to add some more sharpening to the bird only but otherwise a real beauty. Well done Terry
