Kestrel @ Sauvie Island
Sauvie Island was awash with Kestrels yesterday. We saw more than a dozen of them, which was a real treat, as they are a favorite of mine.
I'm torn on sharing Kestrel pics, as they predominantly enjoy sitting on power lines, while watching below for mice, voles, and other tasty little rodents to pop their heads out of their holes in the roughage that generally undelies power lines. Which leads to my desire to show the beauty of the bird without showing the ugly of the power line.
Right or wrong, I've chopped the power line out of this pic, choosing to lose the tail of the Kestrel along with the power line on which it was sitting.
