lol that's the sad thing about Arizona, others get parrots and kestrels: we get pigeons (that's why im a little rusty on naming birds XD)Β

I'm sure there are some kestrels in Arizona, this is almost the most represented prey bird in the world

Wonderful shot on this mossy rock, even tiny pin feathers showing through, the gaze is one of a hunter, wonderful capture.

I don't really know if it was a female, this bird was born 23 days before so it hasn't its final feathers I think.

DΓ©cidΓ©ment, il faudra que je suive une famille plus assidument un de ces quatre... enfin quand j'aurais l'impression d'avoir plus de temps lol. Mais cette photo je la trouve vraiment superbe et j'adore le piquΓ©.

Effectivement c'etait assez chronophage, surtout qu'ils sont sensΓ© voler Γ  partir de 28j mais ils avaient pris un peu de retard cette annΓ©e, donc ct observations matin midi et soir (en dehors des horaires de taff bien sur ^^)

Enfin bon, le moment le plus intΓ©ressant a durΓ© peut etre moins d'une minute, mais ca valait le coup! (sans compter les photographes sympas rencontrΓ©s sur place!)
