Hereโs a back view of a female kestrel, sitting on a sign at Ridgefield NWR. See the difference in the wing edges (no dark gray) and her chest would be more streaky without black spots.

I see the #BirdOfTheDay is the #kestrel
This one hunted from this post at the back of our property for a few days this summer.

For #BirdOfTheDay, a "Kestrel" or alternative any of the Tit species of birds (flying ones). #birds #photography #EastCoastKin #Raptors
I've only seen 1 American Kestrel in real life--a memorable, short photo session! (I think a young one...?)

All I have to offer for todayโs #birdoftheday โbeautiful kestrelโ challenge is a measly, distant flyover shot of a kestrel against drab overcast sky.

I missed yesterdayโs #BirdOfTheDay ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ
For todayโs theme, here is a Nankeen #Kestral letting me know just how aggro it was with me, for startling the finches it was trying to catch. Taken with my iphone almost a year to the day, at Maree, in South Australia.
In the picture, a common kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) can be seen sitting on a bare branch of a tree. The kestrel is looking to the right of the image. The bird's plumage is reddish-brown with dark spots on its back, and its head is gray. The sky in the background is bright blue.
Todays #BirdofTheDay is the beautiful 'Kestrel'
Hope you all have a wonderful day ๐ซถ๐ชถ
