Excellent job. I am very fond of kestrels (especially the little American kestrels, we had a pair nesting near where we used to live.) This was very interesting to watch, the bird's technique of just grabbing the insects out of the air is pretty amazing!
I'm from new Mexico and down here we have a bunch of alfalfa fields and their are one or two of those patrolling every field and in the parking lots they seem at home too catching bugs
Sorry, the harrier stuff was from back in the 90's - haven't been in that area for quite a while. You'll have to go over there yourself - I'd be interested to hear if they still winter there.
Great shots - nice work! :-)

Fine job, they are wild little creatures, not easy to approach.

Wow, amazing. How did you get such nice footage?

Thanks. Footage needed a combination of very long lens, very stable tripod, and plenty of patience (and some wonderful birds in the area!).
