Lunch

Finally!! Kestrals are extraordinarily beautiful little falcons, but very skittish and so hard to shoot. It's been years trying to get anything decent and today it finally happened. This guy was busy with lunch so was less reluctant to fly away even as we stopped the car just 30 feet away. What a treat!

What an amazing capture -- beautiful composition, great clarity! Did you substitute the background? It really makes the bird pop.

@taffy No, that backgound is completely natural (thanks to the rains that have finally soaked our drought-stricken hills). I couldn't have asked for a better setting, that's for sure!
