American Kestrels are notoriously skittish (and it doesn't help that they are so small). They regularly line the runways of EPCAL and thus present a fun challenge for the photographer. Every now and then I get a bird that's a little more cooperative than the rest and today was such a day.

In addition to the above Kestrel above, there were 4 Turkey Vultures riding the thermals searching for carrion and an active Eastern Bluebird singing his heart out. As expected, Eastern Meadowlarks and Northern Harriers were also present.

And while Herring Gulls are not the most interesting bird, I thought some of you would be interested in seeing this portrait taken the other day at the Shinnecock Inlet along the jetty. This was at just about the limit of my lenses focusing abilities and is full frame.
