Raptor Wednesday

The day after the Great Kestrel Massacre, there were two of these little falcons visible from our apartment. (I only managed to photograph one.)

A few hours later, I first heard then spotted this youngster in Green-Wood, around the Old Chapel Lizard Hunting Grounds.

This female was there too. I don’t know if she’s a sibling or a parent, but I suspect sibling. Both of these birds were in the same Eastern Cottonwood for a time.

Not so far distant: I think this is different female, possibly the clan’s mother.
