Kestrel Diving For Bugs
A male Kestrel is diving from a juniper tree at insects on the ground below a cliff that is out of my view. He would catch a bug and immediately fly back to a tree top, eat the bug and dive again. I had several chances to capture the diving flight. I assumed there was some sort of hatch or gathering of bugs.
