The youngsters have finally appeared in the trees. Unfortunately I found the remains of one of them one night after a larger species of hawk took it from the nest. There are two now, and they are making quite a commotion, waiting for food. I personally think that they should be a lot quieter as their brother/sister was "done in" by one of the hawks around here.
As I was standing in the lake getting swimmer's itch, a pelican landed very close by. He noticed me finally and took off, but I snapped this as he went by.
(does one snap a digital camera...must be a more modern expression...zap, perhaps?)

Great pics Sue....I am surprised that the baby kestrels have the adult markings. They sure are cute!
they are more brown, and none of the slate blue on their back
