This evening, December 17, while laying a fire for the Christmastide at the Blockhouse event at Natural Tunnel State Park, I observed a kestrel wheeling over the open field of the blockhouse calling. The bird flew 4 or 5 circuits around the blockhouse area shrieking before it dove back into cover. I did not see an avian predator nearby to startle the bird but it was sure upset.
