Kestrel

















 
 
 

In first pic, Kestrel of today's roll is perched on Wire above Light Pole where Kestrel was perched yesterday...during pics, Kestrel dropped down and snatched Grasshopper...this at beginning, Mile 6...at Mile 4, sighted Merlin nearabout where I sighted Merlin before...during pics, Merlin swooped over to the River, hereabout it returns to Sand and Plants, and snatched what looked to be Dragonfly...just a bit further along, sighted Kite on usual Perch, fourth sighing!...and a bit further, sighted Redtail defuring rodent, Rat?...and near end of roll, sighted Hawk, Redtail, on far side, swoop down from tall Electric Tower (missed that pic...),and catch and eat something while on Ground...further along from this sighting, fellow with his dogs scrambling down to path from upper bank..."See him perched?"..."Yes, I got pics.." "It's dinner time!"...Hawk being observed, Cooper's Hawk on Fence Pole...and indeed it had been dinner time for Hawks!...Duck(need id), Buffel Head, Morning Dove, pics along the way at Mile 3...and Kingfisher was about again...right beside Phoebe on Fence Post I was sighting, and I didn't notice...Kingfisher flew off laughing along the Cement Channel that parallels the River at Mile 3 on the East Bank...this Channel I think fills with Sea Water...sunny hazy clouds warm...I have short clips of all, but too much to post...maybe one...
