Kestrel activity has been picking up quite a bit. Today I saw approximately 5 kestrels including a group of 3 that may be last years returning youngsters. The resident pair also showed up to display to the youngsters that the area was already claimed.

The juveniles spent as much time pursuing each other as they did the now paranoid starlings.
