Kestrel

What caught my eye: We had been out looking for birds and hadn’t found much to photograph. On the drive home a grayish bird flew over the jeep and landed in a tree nearby. Since we had not had many other sightings, we stopped and pulled out the camera thinking it was a chickadee or something. That’s no chickadee!
