Kestrel Camera

THE THIRD TIME’S THE CHARM, at least when it comes to our long-awaited kestrel pair choosing our nest box.  The first year, a pair of Northern Flickers settled in and raised a boisterous, healthy  family.  The second year, the kestrels were in the vicinity, but chose a different location to raise a family.
The nest box is located on a rural piece of property in the Redmond, OR area owned by Ilene and Dean Smith, who, together with Jim Hammond, made the nest box (built by ECBA member, Dick Tipton) ready, with the camera, filled the floor of the box with wood chips, and this year, a kestrel pair has chosen our box with the all important camera so that we can all watch the drama.
