American Kestrel, female near nest

June 13, 2013 in American Kestrel

Kestrels continue to be very visible around nest site with frequent forays to ward off the young nearby Peregrine fledglings.  The peregrines are constantly exercising thier flight muscles with all kinds of new flight patterns.  Wathcing the two species co-exist in adjacent locations will get more interesting once the Kestrel chicks join the scene!
