American Kestrel perched again atop the telephone pole located at entrance to 20 Canal Street in Lawrence.  This is becoming a regualr perch location and provides ongoing support that the Kestrel pair may have settled into a nest in a nearby location.  every effort will be made to monitor these nest/breeding efforts!

American Kestrel pair!!!

April 1, 2013 in American Kestrel

In a new location for 2013, spotted a male and female Kestrel pair perched atop a telephone pole at the east end of Canal St. in Lawrence.  They were very cute perched atop the pole and they were keenly watching all avain passersby including a Red-tailed Hawk that caught their rapt attention!  This was first sighting of this pair and hopes run high that they be attempting to settle in a nest nearby….stay tuned!
