I went for a hike with the family today and brought the camera gear just incase.
Usually I hike with it out but this time i just wore the backpack with my stuff in it.

I said to my wife, "I hope I see a Kestrel perched on top of a Saguaro". Sure enough... There were 2 (one male first and one female second) but the first one didnt let me get very close at all and I deleted the pics.
These are not as high quality as I would have liked. (too far, harsh sun, yada yada) but I like them.

Nice capture on the cactus Jeremy. The first appears soft to me. #2-6 look relatively sharp imo.

Thanks Herb and Ron.
I agree #1 is definitely soft. I liked the tail spread so I posted it. Not great quality though. I need a 500 :-)

Nice shots considering conditions...I had a similar episode last April in Tucson and had a kestrel on top of a flowing cactus that just sat and sat and sat.

Thanks Tim and Eric,

The perch is pretty common out here but very rare for the rest of the country.

Eric, these guys usually fly before Im inside 200ft of them but this one let me come in.

Great shots of a difficult to get bird! I have a pair that I've seen in our neighborhood and my goal is to get a few shots of them this coming year. At least closer than the 3-400 feet that I usually see them at!
