Re:[cayugabirds-l] My first kestrel of the season

That's great, Eveline. I saw my first kestrel of year (a male) yesterday on the road between Freeville and Dryden. And also a Merlin later in the day. Nice to see them coming back. From: bounce-124483352-10557...@list.cornell.edu on behalf of Eveline V.
