Kestrel biology/nestbox competition question

Submitted 6 years 11 months ago by hollyjessop15.

"Our" Kestrels (in Benicia, CA, in the San Francisco Bay Area) hatched around May 10th, and the adults have been regularly bringing food, etc. The chicks are now quite vocal, but are not yet peaking out of the box.

I am noticing that right after the young Kestrels fledge they seem to leave the area. I rarely see any young or adults

around the boxes and am interested if some of you notice the same thing.

June is an exciting time for kestrels! Share what's going on with YOUR kestrel project with everyone here!
