American Kestrel, Point Reyes National Seashore
With a break in the wet weather, I headed out to Point Reyes yesterday afternoon. It turned out to be a good day. I saw and photographed several bobcats and coyotes.
I also photographed one of my favorite hawks, the American kestrel. It’s the smallest member of the falcon family and the most colorful bird of prey that I know of.
Point Reyes has a good population of kestrels. If you visit the seashore, look for them on fences and bushes.
