At the California Raptor Center's Open House today one of the birds on display was an imprinted male American Kestrel. Since he is imprinted on humans he's not releasable, even though he has no physical disabilities. http://wildlightphoto.com/birds/falconidae/amke03.jpg http://wildlightphoto.com/birds/falconidae/amke04.jpg technical stuff: R8/DMR, 280mmm f/4 APO, shoulder stock & monopod 1/125 sec @ f/4.8 on a dark and drizzly day. All comments welcome.
