Aug 28th - Three Kestrel Day!

Yep, that was it...3 birds!  With low to almost no wind today, I was surprised to even see them.  Thank you Lee for getting photos of the first (aka 'mystery') bird that flew over before I arrived.  Easy to ID on the computer screen as a Kestrel.  They're not always the easiest to identify even on the best of days.
