On the Rebound

Whether or not Screech Owls or Saw Whet Owls can survive in this labryinth of our City, American Kestrels have proven very successful. Over the years I've found them in every single neighborhood in New York. It is always awesome though to locate a nest after watching the birds for years. Back in 2010 I found the CCNY kestrels on Amsterdam Ave. They have moved locations each year since then, but always seem to produce a great crop of young. This year I found their new location and it is proving to be a great kestrel viewing area. Here' a sequence of the whole birds and bees routine.
