I saw a pair of American Kestrels at the Fletcher Wildlife Gardens over the weekend. They have taken up residence at the old red barn in the nest box. A quick glance at the list of updated FWG birds tells me the American Kestrels were not recent arrivals so must have been there for some time now. I was under the impression American Kestrels were not nesting there last season (from what I had been told).
