Kim - Love your stories and your photos!!!
I've never seen an American Kestrel either. Y'all sure see some awesome birdies!
I moved the seed feeder today. I decided I was going to dig up the area that the feeder was in to add another raised garden bed! Eventually THERE WILL BE NO GRASS (or at least very little grass). I no sooner put the feeder up in it's new shady location when several cardinals were over there checking it out! They must be wondering what in the heck I am doing .... again!
