Raptor Wednesday

Osprey do like to check out Valley Water in Green-Wood.

American Kestrel update: this female had just flown something edible towards the nest but didn’t enter it. She returned from over the building, so I wondered if there was a fledgling up there somewhere.

Soon afterwards, I saw the male with what might have been a lizard flying towards the nest. Then, some minutes after that, the male was chased by two crows. The crows were in turn chased by a Common Grackle and a Northern Mockingbird. There was some fancy flying by all parties.
