Anyone who falls in love with these birds might step up to help save habitat. As always, these captive birds are great references for artists too. Cuby.....I just read your poem. It's great. You really caught the feel of a kestrel.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02263405659108175434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7981450248684029870.post-47788789868867332902012-02-06T07:58:50.147-05:002012-02-06T07:58:50.147-05:00Your pictures are lovely of this delightful bird.H...Your pictures are lovely of this delightful bird.Have you seen my poem kestrel? where I describe its hover hunting.Cubyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12925180435458519715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7981450248684029870.post-38461179324410756222012-02-05T14:22:36.232-05:002012-02-05T14:22:36.232-05:00Great photos Kelly, but I really like the sketch o...Great photos Kelly, but I really like the sketch of the Kestrel, especially the head.Royhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14669756911857727253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7981450248684029870.post-41938400151734461712012-02-04T22:16:34.650-05:002012-02-04T22:16:34.650-05:00Such wonderful colors this little bird carries!
