American Kestrel Houston, TX
D1X, 600, late evening light.

I got to do a setup for this bird that's used for education.

I can't remember if I have posted this before. If I have, it would have been within the last two months, I'm loosing my mind! Would someone let me know if you've seen this before?

Alan, this is one of my all-time favorite images of yours. Perfect bird with a nice head turn, killer BG, matching leaves, and few or no flowers. Just my taste, but I adore it.

This is such a beautiful bird, and you've done it justice.

Alan,
I'm with the rest of the folks - if you had posted it before there is no way I would have not remembered it. Fantastic shot.

Smokin' image!! You've never posted this before because I would have remembered the pain and agony that I am feeling right now. Man, this one hurts. :D
