We have some very pretty birds of prey around our farm. I wish I had a better camera to get close ups. We have a tree on the edge of the field that a Red Tailed Hawk is usually perched in. This is an excellent spot for hunting. We also have some American Kestrels that nest in a house that was put up on our barn to attract them. We have had a family of Kestrels return for 10 years. This year was the first that they have decided to stay this long. I see them and hear them every day. They are so pretty.
Yep, I'm taking your picture
The Kestrels do NOT like this hawk, as I have seen them dive at him while he is in this tree. I did some research and found that Red Tail Hawks would eat a Kestrel. I love watching them.

ReplyDeleteThe Kestrels are beautiful. Love their colors. Mr. Kestrel better watch out for Mr. Hawk!
ReplyDeleteI too love watching the birds. I always thought it was interesting that our German Shepherd would chase birds of prey off our property, even the air space above our fields, but had no interest in songbirds.
