Kestrel
Kestrel – American Kestrels occupy habitats ranging from deserts and grasslands to alpine meadows. You’re most likely to see them perching on telephone wires along roadsides, in open country with short vegetation and few trees.
My first sighting of one of these colorful birds.
My shutter speed on the camera wasn’t nearly fast enough to stop motion of this quick bird.
Have a great weekend.

Congrats on the lifer! Now you will notice them on all the powerlines during your travels.
It was so fun to see this one. I had to go home and look it up, wasn’t sure what it was.
Cool bird. I’ve never seen one in the wild 🤣😎🙃
So colorful, i wasn’t sure what it was at first.
They are nice-looking birds … you were lucky to see it up close. I understand there is one at Humbug Marsh and I was told the tree it nests in, but I never have seen it, though I always look …. some day!
Yes, someday. Eventually we do see them after we know what to look for 🙂
So beautiful, not sure I have ever seen one!
They are so fast. It was hard to see

I love the Kestrels. I just posted on my Kestrel sightings yesterday too. 🙂
Nice, first time I have seen one of these. 🙂
Thank you. 🙂
I think this is the most beautiful of the raptors, probably as pretty as any North America bird. Very nice capture.
They are so colorful, I wasn’t sure what it was at first. Such a fast little bird.
Lovely.
