Birding and bird photography often takes you off the beaten path or major roadways. With this in mind, I frequently travel the back roads amongst the farm fields. One bird I am watchful for is our smallest falcon, the American Kestrel. The last couple of days there has been one frequenting some fields in the south Ladner area. Unfortunately it has always been too far off for any photos. On my way home at the end of the day it did alight briefly on this fence post.
Hopefully it sticks around for a while and the weather improves for some better chances.
