[birdky] Kestrel chicks

3 young Kestrels nearly ready to fly have been sitting at the doorway of their 
nestbox for the past few days. The old nest box with a 3 inch opening didn't 
have room for several babies to line up this way. When I put up an additional 
box with a 6 inch opening (intended for Barn Owls) the Kestrels decided they 
liked it better than their old box. They didn't seem to understand that the new 
box wasn't meant for them. Guess I should have put a "for owls only" sign at 
the entrance.
