American Kestrel from Aransas National Wildlife Refuge, November 2007 - Capture The Pixel Stephen Pollard

This is simply a collection of different raptors that I have photographed from in and around my local area and the state of Texas. I had never really realized that there were so many different birds of prey in Texas ranging from the small American Kestrel to the Bald Eagle.

Stephen > I saw many red-shouldered hawks while visiting family near Houston. These hawks seem to prefer denser, wooded areas like the Cooper's hawks or Sharp-Shinned hawks. This one was in harsh morning light with the sun slightly to its back causing some shadows in front. Huffman, Texas, January 2009

Stephen > This red shouldered hawk had been perched on a utility line overlooking a small ditch with water in it. As I slowly passed in my vehicle, it flew to the other side of the road and perched in this tree. The perch is better but the light was much more harsh. This is a male because its larger female mate is just out of the frame. Huffman, Texas, January 2009

Stephen > The American Kestrel is very common but for me it is difficult to photograph as they are so shy. This kestrel was not that close to me, but it was in nice light and perched on something other than a utility wire. Midlothian, Texas, Jan 2009
