I was looking out my window over downtown Columbus at about 10 AM and first had a female Kestrel flying near my residence again and then about 30 minutes later, saw a male Kestrel flying over the area to the north , near E. Broad Street ( US 40 ) . The American Kestrels, along with a fewer number number of Peregrines have adapted fairly well to this highly urbanized habitat.
