Shot with a 400 + 2x + 1.4x from a car window. Not the greatest light or angle, but I was pleased anyway to get my first photo of an American Kestrel.
Provia 100.

A little steep, but a nice shot for stacked converters.

I agree with Alan. I know how you feel about getting your first Kestrel shot. Mine was only a speck in the viewfinder!!! Nice job!

Nice female shot and I like the look back. The angle aside, the image is a bit overexposed

Tough conditions you shot under. I hope you find your next one in better light. :D
