Description
I was thrilled to get this shot of an American Kestrel flying almost straight towards me; usually they fly away from me. This is a male, and he seemed intent on where he was going; probably he saw some prey, although I didn't see him catch anything.
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

Angle of flight captures the viewer and is difficult to achieve sharp focus on the eyes while the blurred wing adds to the sense of rapid movement! Congratulations on being named among ‘Dawn’s Delights’ this week. This image has that extra something special that makes it an extraordinary image.
