Is this a wild kestrel? If it is, that really is some shot!

That is super clear, I can see the nasal post really well, nice eye ring, that lens is giving you excellent detail for sure. I am still trying to get that results with my Canon 400 mm f5.6 L, was that hand held.

I really like the avtar picture also.

If it were any sharper you'd cut yourself.

He's a rescue kestrel, hence why I left his feet out of the shot
