| American Kestrel, 2021, Oil on Panel, 5"x5" |
I met this fellow at the Audubon sanctuary in Canton, MA. They were hosting an event with Canon cameras. We took a walk through the sanctuary grounds, and then witnessed birds brought in from a bird rescue group. We were a small group and able to get close to the birds for photographing. These were raptors that were injured beyond rehabilitation. Most of the injuries were due to car hits. The kestrel is a small falcon, 9-12 inches. This guy is a male identified by his slate blue wings and head.
