More Raptors

As I searched out the clumps of songbirds, I noticed that they had become more secretive. Although I could hear the birds, visually acquiring them had become much harder. I found this young gal "hawking" over the area.




Suddenly, the resident male kestrel came on scene. He took a few passes at the young RTH.



Sometimes im amazed on how such a small bird can make such and intense noise!
He alit in a tall tree and continued scoping out the songbirds!

First, he posed a bit for the camera...


And then continued on.
