Raptor Wednesday

Male Kestrel snacking on dragonfly.

A female. Both observed from apartment.

Osprey sightings from Plumb Beach.

Red-tailed. If I didn’t see the tail, I’d say this was a juvenile with that chest plumage, but the tail is one-year-old or older red.

Birds, bugs, & galls! I’ll be leading bird, bug, and gall walks in Green-Wood Cemetery in the coming weeks. And then, on October 3rd, I will be presenting a slide show of my adventures with raptors over the years. I’m looking forward to putting this together from all the stories and images I have.

Check out the calendar and register early (where required).
