Re: [SBB] American Kestrel nesting in Ed Levin?

["Garrett Lau" <[[email protected]]>]

Today, 6/18/06, I saw an adult female American Kestrel atop a tree in the middle of the Elm Group Area. I then heard, but did not see, a baby bird calling from the same tree. I assume it was an American Kestrel.

 

I didn't get a picture of the kestrel there, but I got one in the hills above Spring Valley Pond. There were also six White-tailed Kites, three adults and three juveniles. My photos are here:

Also, I took some pictures of the egrets at the Palo Alto duck pond rookery (heronry) on Friday:

On Thus, 6/15/06, at 7PM in the Elm Picnic Area, Ed Levin County Park, Milpitas, CA, I saw a juvenile American Kestrel hopping on the ground

near the picnic tables. It did not appear capable of flight, when it lifted its wings they did not appear to be fully developed.

I did not see an adult the few minutes I was in the vicinty. Where could this bird have come from?
