I have especially enjoyed your pictures, Dan, while in Tucson. Now en route home to Nova Scotia, Canada, in time for our wood warblers and so many, many vagrant visitors. Have great Birdathon fun.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and comments. Have a great summer in Nova Scotia.

What a gourmet feast for the eye, the lens, and the spirit. I'm always thrilled when I spot a single Kestrel, and I appreciate your taking the time and effort to share your shots and knowledge.

Thank you Sally. Kestrels sure are special birds, aren't they?

hi Dan,

I live east of Cody, WY with 4 acres on Sage Creek. We have lots of bird life here. In March, the sandhill cranes arrive, then our lone blue heron. The redwing black birds are here in force in our cattail swamp. Mallards on the creek. A big flock of pheasants and also many Hungarian partridge. A resident harrier. My husband is building a platform for a hawk nest. Anyway, I am enjoying your photos and all the great info. -Carrie

Thank you Carrie. It sure sounds like you live in a special place now. Enjoy this birdy-season!!! Good luck with the hawk nest. Keep me posted.

They are so elegant when they fly.

Thank you for your amazing photographs and information about the birds around us. I was so excited when I saw an American Kestrel for the first time a few years ago.

They are really special birds. I'm glad you've seen them in the wild!!

I learn so much from each of your posts, Dan, and this is such a great way to use and share a series of great shots of a fascinating bird...instead of trying to choose just one!

Thanks Deb. I think the series helps the reader to "be there". I'm glad you enjoy it.
