Title: male kestrel clonel sam smith park
Post by: denis on February 09, 2010, 07:10:09 PM

these are from last sat.stopped in on the way back from lasalle park,and port credit.he was in the field right across from the parking lot(west side).nothing special. no flight shots,or feeding behaviour. he just sat there! at least the sun was out,and the light was great.these are about 70% crops,with the 1D mark 11.i,m very happy with the low noise on this camera.

Looks like you had a long busy day on Saturday.

Great shots. That last one is cool with the wind blowing from the back of his head.
