It's neat to still be seeing them around! Free streaming may have had some hiccups this year, but it's a fun benefit to be able to keep streaming as long as we want :)

They have spread faster than in some of the previous years. But they look all very strong and healthy and well fed. I noticed that most of the prey this year were rodents, while in some other years there were more butterflies, insects and whatever. Do you guys have a rodent year? Seems to be good for the kestrels.
