Raptor Wednesday

A Northern Mockingbird buzzing the apex of this church on 4th Avenue and 8th Street made me glad we were at a stoplight. And had a “raptor roof” (what I believe is known to the trade as a moonroof). For there was an American Kestrel up there.

At the end of June, I had a couple of days of hearing and then seeing Kestrels over Sunset Park, but they were much too fast for the camera. 313 raptor sightings so far this year.
