This linden tree sported a male American Kestrel in 2017 and 2018, too. Now here’s… another? He’s facing the low winter sun.
That makes for good photographs, but also gives his potential prey a good view of him.
You’d think he’d want to come out of the sun, but that might throw his shadow ahead of him.
So the above pictures were taken a few weeks ago. Raptor Wednesday is usually running behind this time of year. But I always check this spot when I’m near by, and most times I see nothing. But just yesterday, for the first time since the above:
Here he was again.
(I mean, I think it’s the same bird.)

Kestrels Rock!
The pattern of spots on the breast looks the same in every shot – same bird.
Thanks, Jean!
