    Hello Anni!:) All of these birds are stunning raptors. I don't believe I have ever seen the American Kestrel before, what a colourful bird. Superb captures Anni. Thank you for hosting, and have a great weekend.:)

    Absolutely breathtaking!! Your shots literally made me gasp! Your bald eagle is sharp and fierce. The sweet but fierce Kestrel and his beautiful coloring! And the gorgeous White tailed. I have some hawk pictures, this reminds me that I should post them. You have made my DAY!

    That eagle portrait is truly impressive, and I also love seeing the Peregrine in various poses.

    Dearest Anni; Among your wonderful collection of prey, I love the sweet little AMERICAN KESTREL♪　So lovely and I first didn't notice its beak so I checked with the picture page p;-) Thank you so much for hosting, Dear friend.

    I love these...I don't know why, but seeing birds of prey always gives me a thrill. And any day we see a Bald Eagle is a good day.

    Great photos!
    Love the Kestrel! I saw one once at a wildlife rehab place. A truly beautiful bird.

    Hello Anni, fantastic captures of the raptors. Love the closeups. The Falcon and the White-tailed hawk are some of my favorites. Thanks for hosting. Happy Sunday, enjoy your day and the new week ahead!

    Birds of prey are beautiful but very dangerous for the small birds that inhabit our gardens! I admire your pictures!!
    Happy Sunday !

    Thanks for adding my link and especially thank you for the prayers. I have managed to get sick now with some kind of bad cold. Hopefully it will run it's course...quickly. Love seeing the eagle up close. I feel like I could reach out and touch it! Beautiful! Hugs, Diane

    A super collection of raptors Anni. Every birder I know likes raptors. there's just something rather special about the way they live their lives, usually far away from prying human eyes. It's sad that in the past we humans have persecuted raptors. Sadly those days are not fully over but I like to think that blogs like your hekp people to apppreciate these wonderful creatures.

    Tahnks for letting me join in your birding weekend again.

    These are such incredible images! It's been way too long since I've seen an eagle. About the only birds of prey I get to see regularly are the hawks.
