We went to the Treatment Plant today. What a glorious day it was? Blue sky, (not easy to get on the right side of the birds if there is water between you and the bird) BOP everywhere, all different kinds. All too far away to get good shots. On the way out, we saw this gorgeous Kestral in a dead tree. Got some nice photos. (I think). The bird sat in the same spot for a while, that's why most of the photos look similar. Enjoy, this one is a female, if I'm not mistaken.
Very nice, M-L. Only a birder would find a day at a treatment plant enjoyable

Yep, it doesn't smell, and you think you are in a different world, "planet bird"

Gorgeous! :) Such a well-tailored bird. :)
Yes, a female, I believe, Araminta. Rufous crown & tail whereas the male has a grey crown & tail.
