On January 1, we drove the roads in a block in northern Wayne County (basically most of Canaan Township) for the Winter Bird Atlas project and found 14 Kestrels in the block that day. Quite a nice showing of this small hawk. We did another census on January 6 and counted only 4, although we didn't spend as much time on the census in the afternoon on that day.
