I got a hint that there might be a pair of American Kestrels nesting in a box on private land. Went and talked to the landowner and he gave me the ok and pointed me in the direction of the nesting box.
Of course I used the standard procedure around nesting birds. I keep my distance and waited for the kestrel to enter or leave the nest. After about 30 minutes one of the Kestrels emerged from the box and flew to a local spruce tree.
I keep my distance again and moved around and got the following photos to the right.
As most of my Kestrels photos are on fence post the photo here is a relief as they show the Kestrel in a natural setting.
I had to photograph at a steep angle. As I moved around the Spruce tree the light was good.
