Baby Kestrels

Their house got moved and we feared that our* Kestrels had moved elsewhere. But when the Harris Center folks arrived, low and behold! Five babies. I worry about them. It’s such a tough life they will lead, and now toxins and airplanes and lack of food. It all makes for a tough life for these peeps. May they have safe, healthy and happy lives!

…A sweet hope that the chicks thought was a curse on June 15th when the Harris Center folks came back to band our five babies tiny claws…

*Not ours, actually or literally. The Kestrel Adults are the cause of those five chicks hatching and are—happily— in charge of feeding the future raptors their dead meat treats.
