AMERICAN KESTRELS
We believe we may have spotted a family or grouping of American Kestrels! As our team of bird walkers was leaving the meadow and heading down to Teacup Lake, looking back there were 3 birds soaring/circling above the pines. We were quite far from their location and it was difficult to get a good look at them. But based on their size and coloring they appeared to be Kestrels. |
