Few minutes later, it successfully defended its hunting territory against a juvie RTH. However, it tried again against the Cooper Hawk but instead got chased by the Cooper...Was hard to photograph as I think Kestrel is one of most colorful raptors out there. Talk about survival of the fittest..." http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1333581 https://www.flickr.com/photos/jth3p14159/15298974413/in/photostream/ Edited by Shin, Aug 27 2015, 12:38 AM.
