Thanks MFI - yes, I am fortunate that twice in 4 years an Anna's hummer has nested in my front yard.
The American Kestrel (Falco sparverius) used to be called a Sparrowhawk. And it is pretty fast and can also hover for a short time.
Is your sparrowhawk the Collared Sparrowhawk (Accipiter cirrocephalus)?
Thanks Lorell. Yes, I shoot in RAW, but like you I was amazed at what a great job my Nikon did in preserving detail and sharpness. I have another similar photo of Annabel just leaving the nest after being startled by the sound of the shutter - I'll post it tomorrow.
I love your photo: great values and colors, a sharp I and nice bokeh background, and a textbook example of how to use leading lines
