Nature Walks – Kestrel Up High

Yesterday I decided to change up my walking a bit, and visited nearby Metzger Farm. It’s just about 1 mile down the hill from where I live, and I like to mix up my walks. As soon as I arrived, I saw quite a few magpies and a bunny. But later into my walk, I saw a beautiful American Kestrel up high in a tree. She was a female. I could tell by her coloring. She was scanning the area for prey. I love the little Kestrels, along with all the other birds of prey. American Kestrels are small falcons.

At first, I was struggling to get good pictures of this little beauty, because she was so far away and so high up in the tree. I also had the bright sunlight to contend with. But once I found a good angle, I was able to get a few good shots of her.
