On my way home today I was on McFee Rd half way between the circle with the new 
soccer park and the stop sign for Boyd Station Rd (right near the underpass for 
the train tracks / Harvey Road) when I spotted a pair of American Kestrels on 
the telephone wires.  I watched as the female dropped into the fielded area and 
came up with a mouse then rushed home to get my camera.  When I got back the 
female was still ripping apart the mouse though she wouldn't let me get close 
enough for a decent shot of it, she kept flying further away mouse in-tow (or 
in-talon I guess).  I did manage to get a couple of half decent shots of the 
male.  Also, between the two circles on McFee (near the Bridgemoore 
developement) I saw the resident red-tailed hawk again, hopefully he won't 
chase off the Kestrels.



Good Birding Everyone,
