Kestrel on film

Hello folks,
I took this kestrel about 1985 with either an olympus om2 or a maxxum 7000 using a Century 650mm lens. I believe that was the closest thing to an APO in those days. I set up a homemade blind near the freeway in Cerritos, CA where I had seen him every morning and when he actually show up I sprung the trap!Remember K64 slide fim? Scanned by Kodak onto a Kodak PhotoCD about 1998. The scan was high res but dark so I Photoshopped it to death. I still have that lens but it doesn't seem to work as well on my Digital Sony Alpha. Gotta build another blind though. Sorry about the long war story. Thanks
Henry
