Opposing views

We went out to the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center in Laurel, Maryland, not far from the District. It was pleasant walking around the extensive grounds, although the only birds we saw were some geese in their lake, ducks way off in the distance, and this kestrel and a screech owl in the headquarters.

I like how you've made the kestrel the center of attention here with its handler in the nicely out of focus background.

A wonderful looking Kestrel, he's smaller than I imagined. Nicely shot. V

I think Kestrels are such beauties!
