Very nice! The fact that he's not on a wire...bonus!

One of the best kestrel photos I have seen. Even with the 500 + 1.4x you must have been quite close. The few times I saw kestrels in the wild, they were practically in the next zip code :-(

Very well done, Dave.

Thanks Linh! Yes, I was pretty close & it was a very cooperative Kestrel.

Very nice; it's tough to get that close to a kestrel; usually they stay about two power poles away.
