Besides the buzzard, the kestrel is probably the most common bird of prey in the Netherlands, and you can actually always see them exhibiting religious behavior somewhere above a field where their favorite snack is scurrying around.
I once sat for a while watching a relaxed kestrel sitting in a tree quietly looking around, and then outwitting a mouse. It doesn't seem like a hard life to me.
I have hundreds of photos of kestrels (375 to be exact), and this is probably the last(?). I finally have a view on his upper body in flight and that is the most beautiful part, a beautiful pattern.
A beautiful male Bullock's Oriole. Very rare for this area. He's a west coast bird. Glad we had the chance to see it. Gloucester, NJ.
American kestrel, also called the Sparrow Hawk, is the smallest and most common falcon in North America. He's my favorite bird of prey. Peace Valley Park, New Britain PA.
Bucks County Pa.
Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment and favoring my images. Enjoy the day.
Thankfully this Peregrine Falcon was very cooperative for a while allowing shots like this. It just sat there looking at the birds flying around and us. Stone Harbor Point NJ.

Mid-sized diving duck. Male distinctive, with dark rusty head, pale gray body contrasting with black breast, and broad pale bluish band on bill. Female rather nondescript: gray-brown overall with diffuse pale head markings. Note sloping forehead and dark gray bill with pale band near tip. In flight grayish overall (lacks bold white wing stripe). Inhabits marshy and reed-fringed lakes to open reservoirs; locally on the sea in winter, especially when lakes freeze. Locally in flocks, and often associates with winter flocks of Tufted Ducks. Feeds mainly by diving. eBird

This was a rare moment for everyone at Peace Valley Park to see a Common Loon all decked out in full breeding plumage. Just wish the light was better to appreciate it's beautiful colors.
