We had our FOY KILLDEER yesterday, and early this morning we heard a lone HORNED LARK singing. The bluebirds were chiming in as well. They seem to have chosen their nest box across the road while the house sparrows are guarding the box in the corner of our yard.
Around 5:00 p.m. last night I good very good looks at a male KESTREL at the top of the telephone pole (above the sparrow nest box) eating a small rodent. As he ate and repositioned himself, he turned in a complete circle, providing excellent views. That is one striking bird.
