An opportunity and another First for Me…visiting a American Kestrel site.
Smallest of the Falcon family these colorful birds are cavity nesters and about ten inches in size. They will use abandoned Pileated and Flicker cavities to nest in. At the time of my visit three young had fledged and the fourth was still in the nest cavity.
With both the Kestrel and Flickers being in the same area…this only meant that little walking was required for photographing both.
