Lately, the kestrel tree has not been living up to the name I gave it. First, flocks of robins, then crows, crowded its upper limbs. But just now, I saw something that didn't look like either of those largeish birds. Yep, it was a kestrel, looking as though it was trying to dry out its wings after this morning's downpour.
Welcome back!
