Bird Photo Competition 5 2018 : Entry Number 42
Photographers Comment
This male Kestrel was feeding 5 babies in a nesting box. He attempted to get this mouse into the hole in the box, but was unable to, much to the frustration of the hungry babies. So the dad flew away with the mouse, circled around and then flew back, and this time, in an amazing move, he stopped short and flung the mouse right through the hole! I got this shot from a blind as he was circling around for his 2nd attempt.
Many thanks for the honor. My name is Judi Dressler, and I shot this photo in Colorado, with a Nikon D4S and Nikon 300mm lens plus 2X extender. f/8, ISO 1250, 1/2500 second
