Larry's wildlife pix - Kestrel

 I am a fairly big guy and sneaking up on something gets to be a problem> sometimes. Especially some of the really skittish type birds and animals.> Well, to solve that problem my wife made me a camo-cover especially made to> use with a camera. It really works great and the first bird that I wanted to> shot was an American Kestrel. The Kestrel, sometimes called a Sparrow Hawk> which is a misnomer as they are neither a hawk and the very rarely feed on> sparrows or any small bird. They are the ones who sit on telephone wires and> fly if you even slow down to look at them. However, they are somewhat> predictive and that's were the camo-cover came into service. I positioned> myself by this dead tree that he uses as one of his perches while searching> for food. After about a 45 minute wait here he came and BAM!!, I shot him! I> was able to finally get some images that I had wanted for a long time! Next> up - the Kingfisher!!> Enjoy,> Larry <><
