p.1 #1 · American Kestrel on tree before Supermoon Rise

I was going to walk a bit to my right and photograph the Kestrel with the supermoon behind her yet she flew off at sunset and 5 minutes later the moon came up over the pond full of Sandhill Cranes at Bosque del Apache NWR.

Comments and suggestions welcome,

Morris

Both pretty ! Morris the first one happens to me frequently, timing,luck and reach. When it all comes together it's magic. Good eye just to find it.
