One of ours -- probably Alice Jr -- picked off an inflight dove the other morning, while Wife was doing the hummingbird feeders
She didn't see any of it🤷‍♂️
I happened to see the explosion of feathers

Ahh great #BirdOfTheDay .. both #Kestrel and the #Tit alternative
See the Kestrel often on my walks and they always impress me or they make me smile.
Here are two pics which caused those two different reactions ..

Me every mourning with a cocked head confused look! Unfortunately, my markings and crest aren’t that stunning!

This is a male Anna's #hummingbird
#flying in his natural environment
(I prefer to photograph #hummingbirds
only in their natural environment)
The dark background is the
wheel well of my truck

Shutter speed was rather slow at 1/1250. Wing caught at the top of the backswing simulates stop action (kind of).
