kestrels in Sidney

[Julia Hanauer-Milne]

Our kestrels arrived this morning as a pair :)

They spent a few minutes atop the tree with their nest box and are now hunting around the neighborhood, avoiding the raven who wasn't as happy to see them as I am. Hoping for a repeat of last year when they fledged four chicks in our nest box.

p.s. They are six days later than last year--I was beginning to worry. Still don't have a phoebe here either.
