Birders, It has been awhile since I have seen a kestrel (seems they are getting scarce) around the Cleveland area. As I am stopped at the intersection of E. 55, Woodland, Kinsman - lo and behold a male kestrel perched on the top of one of the trees in a vacant lot. Had seen kestrels there before, as a matter of fact checking out a hole in the eaves of a storefront church . until that church was torn down. Urban birding surprises. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
