A Kestrel's Quarters


I have tracked down the hole where the sparrow hawk family has been nesting. It's a live tree on the edge of the hill in front of our place. I've been keeping an eye on the comings and goings, and I'm hoping to spy the youngsters one of these days.
This parent was just leaving the hole after leaving some tasty morsel for the kids.

I suspect they are eating a lot of bugs...the smaller birds go into hiding when they are around, but we see them take things off the grass all the time.
