Stopped over at Blue Frog Hollow, and she was going on ... and on ... about her bird sightings (her last two posts!)and I remembered with a sudden GASP! that I forgot to tell you about the visitor to our backyard last week!
Not a new bird for me, but definitely a new life lister for my daughter!
Imagine seeing for the first time, through the spotting scope ... a Kestrel!
He inspected all corners of the property, tried out numerous perches, hit the ground several times ... although seemingly in vain. But for over an hour he afforded us many opportunities to bring him up in the scope and get great views from all angles. .. no, if you're asking, I didn't get a picture because he didn't get THAT close, and when I did try to sneak out on the deck with the camera ... he found the tallest tree and just watched until I went back in.
