American Kestrel...

These photographs just happened by accident. Our first Saturday in Florida we went to the Tittusville airport for an air show. While waiting for Linda and Shane while they were taking a ride on a military Huey helicopter this American Kestrel just happened to land on a post close to me. The sun was a little harsh as it was mid afternoon but I was not about to pass up this pretty bird, it was also my first chance to photograph one. I could not help but include one of the sign on the post that he landed on, it made me think that he was cleared for take off.
