Kestrel Bombing Off A Wire
Artist

Photograph - Photography
Description
American Kestrel bombing straight down off a wire after prey. She saw a mouse or something in the grass, but flew off without it. I'm always happy to see kestrels when out with my camera in the winter, because so many birds have flown south and there isn't as much to photograph. But these little falcons can put on a great show! Photo was shot through the car window.
From Cornell: "North America’s littlest falcon, the American Kestrel packs a predator’s fierce intensity into its small body. It's one of the most colorful of all raptors: the male’s slate-blue head and wings contrast elegantly with his rusty-red back and tail; the female has the same warm reddish on her wings, back, and tail. Hunting for insects and other small prey in open territory, kestrels perch on wires or poles, or hover facing into the wind, flapping and adjusting their long tails to stay in place. Kestrels are declining in parts of their range; you can help them by putting up nest boxes."
Photo taken on January 14, 2018, near Castle Rock, Colorado
