Week #4 - Kestral & Meadowlark
by Laura Milholland

Las Gallinas Wildlife Ponds, San Rafael, CA

While spending a fairly long time watching (and photographing) this American Kestral,
a Western Meadowlark landed on a nearby post of the fence. I increased my DOF to get both birds in the shot.
Compression makes them look closer together than they were.

Great shot. It looks like the Meadowlark is berating the Kestrel. I love the DOF and the sharpness of both birds. Excellent!

Wow, what a great shot! Birders will love this... or at least, I do.
