thanks. only my 2nd shot of one. got 1 kestrel a few years ago. them and king fishers are toughFantastic shot. I wish I could get that close to one - I've only ever seen/shot merlins 4 times - and all 4 times were at distances of 100+ feet, with 500mm lenses, into the sun, and significantly cropped. Just can't seem to get one to land close to me, and with the sun in the right direction! (kestrels I've had more luck with).
thanks. birds of prey are my favorite. peregrines are #1Real sweet Howie! Love the look on it!
