Lame-Duck I have indeed had pine nuts  More info | Dec 04, 2022 18:45 | #6288 kevb123 wrote in post #19452715  thx mike. is that what it is? i'm more of a photographer than a birder but all our kestrels look like this. Kev...that aluminum band on it's right leg is used as a means of tracking the movements and migrations of birds. We see them mostly on waterfowl. But it is quite rare to find these banded birds. When you say, "all our kestrels look like this," do you mean that they are all banded with aluminum bands such as the one in your photo? I'm really curious. Masterful shot of this short-eared owl, Sid! Very nice work! This flight shot of the Cooper's Hawk is absolutely superb, Paul! This is a really cool looking shot, Joe, but I believe these guys are snowy egrets. I'm saying this because of the yellow feet and yellow colored feathers directly in front of their eyes. Very nicely captured flight shot of the pigeon, Rich! Itsed65 wrote in post #19452911 BE checking out its catch.

Felt bad for one of the redtails, he was flying away from mobbing crows, landed in a tree only to find it already occupied, and end up in a tussle anyway! All birds photographed in the wild.

It was one of those "no time to think, just shoot and see what you get later" moments, so was pleased it worked out! All birds photographed in the wild.
