American Kestrel migration is in progress. There is anecdotal
information that they coincide with dragonfly migration, especially the
Common Green Darner and Black Saddlebags ( Anax junius and Tramea
lacerate; other species migrate as well). With kestrels, not all migrate
but they do disperse. The females will begin settling into winter
hunting territories which are quite a bit larger and less popular than
those the males end up with. By this time young should have moved on.
