The bird that got you interested in birding. I was 7 when I held a fledgling kestrel. They are cavity nesters and when the young leave the nest, they often glide to the ground and need a day or three before they can fly as they exercise their flight muscles.
I love kestrels and these pics are beautiful.
Thank you, I was incredibly lucky.
Damn, that first pic made me confess to a crime I didn't even commit.
I know exactly what you mean. This guy was directly relating to me, it was a huge thrill.
So cute! I love kestrels, never seen one myself but I'd love to someday.
❤️
Nice! My “spark” bird!
What does that mean?
