This photo has been nominated by pinkT in the Pay it forward group as their favorite image — wow – thanks very much — here is what they said about the photo:
I want to nominate David Clark for his photo lesser kestrel in flight. Maybe its because I love these birds, falcon. A lesser kestrel or small falcon. OR it is because of the clarity of the falcon. OR it is because the falcon looks like it is ready for hunt for food. OR it is because it looks like the falcon is head right for you. OR it is because its is my first image added to my favorites. OR it is because……….Well I think it is because of its an overall beautiful bird!
