This female American Kestrel whizes by with a yummy snack in her beak.

A hello to good friends who were present!

Canon 7D with the 500L f4 lens handheld @ 1/1250, f/5.6, ISO 400, +1 1/3 exposure compensation due to the light sky.

Small crop for composition purposes to frame at 12 x 16.

A bit of fill-in in post-processing to lighten up the bird.

Cheers,

Mike
