The birding was elusive today, but I got this at a distance.

A medium shot of an American Kestrel facing away from the camera with its wings stretched beneath it and its tail extended upward. This image was taken at almost the exact instant the kestrel leaped from the concrete light pole next to it. #kestrel #americankestrel #birds #birding #animals #birdwatching #nature #wildlife #photography #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #animalphotography #outdoorphotography #forestphotography #photographersunited #photographersofbluesky #stunday #birdoftheday #bestofoctober

A medium shot of an American Kestrel facing away from the camera with its wings and tail level as it faces down. This image was taken at almost the exact instant the kestrel leaped from the concrete light pole next to it. Not quite as great as the other photos in this series, but still interesting. #kestrel #americankestrel #birds #birding #animals #birdwatching #nature #wildlife #photography #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #animalphotography #outdoorphotography #forestphotography #photographersunited #photographersofbluesky

"A sharply focused American kestrel is captured mid-flight, angled diagonally upward from lower left to upper right. Its wings are fully spread, sho… The background is soft and pale gray, with blurred bare branches suggesting a winter or early spring setting. A dark branch crosses the lower right corner in the foreground. In the upper left, a gold watermark reads “©Gregory Rothman 2026.”

As the leaves change and the insects are still plentiful, you will find the #AmericanKestrel. This one was found taking advantage of the local grasshopper population in #thegreatswampnationalwildliferefuge. Once again, shot by staff photographer @herbertsaugust .

Smallest falcon in North America. Biggest attitude. 🪶 An American Kestrel gave me two very different portraits. Which wins: straight-on stare or side-eye?

The fatal mistake of checking work email before having coffee. Now you are just sitting there, completely frozen, staring at the wall in pure irritated silence. This American Kestrel hunkered on a nest box gets it completely. ☕🐦

An American Kestrel sits hunkered down atop the slanted roof of a wooden nest box mounted to a weathered utility pole. The small falcon features dark vertical facial markings on a pale cheek, a streaked breast, and faces forward with an unblinking gaze against a dark, blurred background.
