It was sitting very nicely on the balcony rail and took off as I hit the shutter. It's only about the 2nd or 3rd time I've caught a bird in flight!
Maybe better viewed large and thank you for your favourites.

American kestrel takes off after an unsuccessful dive for prey. Ironically, I only stopped here to watch a Coyote hunting the back of the field, and this ended up as the standout among 1,000+ Kestrel images taken on this day. Point Reyes National Seashore

Have a great week!
Here's how it goes in my neck of the woods....
1. watch the local news to see if the impending thunderstorm will stop the launch.
2. Wait until about a minute and a half before lift off, then go outside and take a few practice shots."
3. Watch the shuttle rise into the sky and fly over the ocean.
4. Watch the tiny, orange speck of flame until there's separation and it disappears.
5. Grab some more shots of the shuttle trail.
6. Go back in the AC and cool off again!

Chrysolina herbacea I think!
