Happy Monday all (Oxymoron). Today we have an American kestrel (Falco sparverius). San Benito County, California. Fun fact: Falcons are not related to hawks and eagles. They are more closely related to parrots than other bird families.

Try Pt. Pinole Regional Park in the East Bay for an early morning walk. It has wonderful trails and an amazing assortment of bird life. I've seen kestrals, red-tail and red-shoulder hawks, and osprey there in early AM. Also walnut-size hummingbird nests, and baby owls!

I've seen raptor chicks being weighed and ringed. The owlets were always very chill but the Kestral chicks are fighting screaming demons (I love Kestrals, they're such fierce little birds!) XD
