2016 Kestrel highlights - Part 2

Here are a few more highlights of young kestrels on the Lower East Side.  All photos were taken this last spring.

This is a male fledgling during his first hour outside the nest.

The young kestrels often end up on fire escapes.  If you see one there, it's best to leave it alone as it's learning to fly and the parents are watching over it. 







I'm king of the world!



Stay tuned...
