As I was shooting this female flying in circles, I didn't notice she was after dragonflys. I've seen one fly caught many times before, but not two. Not great images (Big crops) but good behaviorals.

Very cool to see Rex. Probably not to often they have two at once.

Great shots Rex. I have seen them chasing dragonflies before but I have never got a shot of it. Well done.

Well you have to pleased with these shots, extra nice. Getting a Kestrel in flight is good enough but to have captured this action, Wow very well done Rex.

Thank you, Louie. I was on a Northern Shrike, when I saw the Kestrel fly off a line and start circling. Took a few shots to catch up.

Very nice pics, those little falcons are really fast and hard to catch, too.

Wow, Rex, what a catch for the kestrel and you! I love all three but the last image of the kestrel taking a nibble is sweet. It must have been hungry.

I thought she was adjusting the prey, until in other pics the head was gone. thank you, Joshua.
