Photos of American Kestrel

Photography by Terry Sohl

My Favorite: I started birding in 2000.  This photo of a gorgeous male American Kestrel, taken in 2006, was the first good photo I obtained for the species. It wasn't for lack of trying! These little guys are quite common around here, but they are SO hard to get close to.  I was thrilled to have a beautifully colored male pause just long enough for a couple of quick photographs.
