Raptor Wednesday

Three days after seeing three nestling American Kestrels in their nest cavity, I spotted the male parent devouring a bird atop the main entrance to Green-Wood. A Mockingbird was diving at him and the resident Monk Parakeets were clamoring. The little falcon flew off with the remains of the prey and I followed… toward the nest, then angling into a corner of the cemetery with two tall oaks.

There were four fledglings up there! Three males and a female.

The three males.

Their sister.
