I love to draw inspiration from my surroundings in Bristol Hills of Upstate New York.

The American Kestrel turned up at my doorstep a few years back when I was certain that there must have been a squirrel “scritching” around inside the overhang of my house. Curse you squirrel!

Upon further observation, I discovered that a pair of American Kestrels had settled into their own penthouse apartment on the highest point of the house. Much to my delight three beautiful fledglings later appeared in our nearby tree, making a lovely brood of five.

This was the perfect time for me to capture this auspicious bird’s image.
