Yes, I called the Raptor Center and they confirmed it is a recently fledged female Kestrel. There is obviously something wrong with it. They want me to try to drop a towel over it and try to catch it. I don’t think it will be that hard, all it did was turn its head to look at me when I took its picture only 12” away.

I think it may be injured. I'm not sure. It allowed me to get within 12 inches of it to take one of these pictures. All he did was look at me and make no attempt to try to get away. It is a little smaller than an adult Robin. Obviously, it isn't a robin. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
