Spring is finally here. Today I went outside to check out the possible nesting location of a pair of American Kestrels I have been observing regularly. First there were colourful clouds.
First sighting was a Killdeer in a puddle.
Then some gulls in more puddles
The first pelicans.
Redhead, Ring-Necked Ducks, Lesser Scaups, Bufflehead.
In a nearby lot there must have been over 60 American Robins.

In the field in which the Kestrels are mainly seen are some Bison. The post picture is the cavity hole that the Kestrels seem to like and wait around.

Wow... over half way ;) There is a second pond behind the bison field which serves as the bisons' water hole. Here could be heard the nasal
bep of a few Gadwall, as well as a few Mallard's and presumably more Redheads, Scaups, Ring-Necked Ducks, and Bufflehead. There were a lot of ducks. Sadly, the Kestrels did not show.
Coming back, I got a few more shots of ducks at the pond.
Almost at our driveway again... meadowlarks!!! Needed to grab a few shots before I went inside. Here they are:
Thank you for staying with me. So concludes my massive spring post. Until next-time ;)
