Ringing in the new year with older images. Each of the following six photos was published in the two month period between December 1, 2010 and January 31, 2011.
More than most birds kestrels are known for listening to the beat of their own personal drummer. So on Christmas morning I was flabbergasted when this male immediately filled my stated request when asked.
One of the fun things about takeoff shots is that a bird with little promise for interesting photos while it’s perched can instantly translate into exciting photos when it lifts off.
Please do not pin my images on Pinterest, Tumblr or any other pinning site or social media or use them for anything else without my express permission (and that includes using them as models for paintings, drawings or tattoos etc.).
