This guy follows the rules way to precisely! I hope he doesn't plan to spend the entire winter on the sign!

I caught him this morning as I drive through a local NWR. NOt a great shot, but had to go with what I had on the camera (24-105) as he was right next to the road and not happy about my stopping to stare.

He was a beautiful little guy.

Haha, I like that shot. I wish I could get so close to a Kestrel to take its picture. If you had a longer lens, you would have gotten some great detail there.

Thanks for the comments everyone. I just wish I had the 100-400 so this would be a lot different shot. I'm lusting over that lens in a major way....
