Hi Scott, I almost always, especially in summer, see a kestrel on C 105, between Sedalia and Wolfensberger Road. If you like, I can contact land owners and see if they would allow it. Thanks, Brenda

American Kestrel numbers have been in decline for several years, due to predation (mostly by house cats and Coopers Hawks), disease and loss of nesting sites. I am the Director of CARRI, www.carriep.org The Colorado Avian Research and Rehabilitation Institute and our members have been building and placing nest boxes for these tiny falcons for a few years. So far we have about 80 boxes placed from Arvada to the Wyoming Border and want to have 200 in place sooner than later. Kestrels habitat is open country with some type of pole , tree or building where the box can be attached to. Each box is 9x9 x 18 inches deep. We will be accepting donations for each box. If you feel you have the proper habitat and would like to participate in this project, e-mail me privately. Thank You, Scott Rashid Estes Park www.carriep.org -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
