Love today's #BirdOfTheDay theme #Borb, bird looking round or pear shaped, the Alt theme is Gulls.
These puffy #CalFalcons peregrine falcon chicks and #SantaCruzIsland kestrel fit the bill.

Documentaries show that predators such as #barnowls, #eagleowls, #tawnyowls, #kestrels, #commonbuzzards, #redkites, #foxes can be secondarily poisoned if they eat poisoned #mice. Long-term monitoring of barn owls reveals widespread contamination with #rodenticides

Kestrel with her back and tail facing the camera and her head turned over her shoulder, perched on a metal post.
Another great theme Rob @robcrank68.bsky.social. Today's #BirdOfTheDay is #FavouriteOfTheMonth, your favourite/s bird capture/s from January, the Alt theme is #Blue, any bird with Blue on its plumage.
Found #Kestrels on a sunrise drive in #CentralCalifornia. This one let me get pretty close.

"When kestrels were nesting nearby, fruit-eating species were far less likely to visit and feed. The team estimated a more than tenfold reduction in the likelihood of cherry damage compared with sites without active kestrel nests."

Sunday morning breakfast with my Kestrel friend. He wasn't sharing! I usually see him eating insects, so this was pretty cool!

A rather damp looking Kestrel on the ground by our front gate. It has a mouse pinned to the ground and blood on it's yellow beak
Actually it turns out I was wrong about the Kestrel thing... somehow I'd forgotten this (age and Covid induced mind fog I suspect)... Sorry @alan678.bsky.social π€£
This is by our front garden gate, it had just caught a mouse. October 2024

Lovely set Rob and a great choice of #BirdOfTheDay. #Kestrels amaze me as they often appear out of nowhere - such successful predators. Here's a few from me.

π American Kestrel, female (Falco sparverius) The American Kestrel is a small falcon, with males having slate-blue wings and females having rusty-brown wings. Both have a rusty back and tail, with black barring, and two prominent black "mustache" marks on their white face. The species is widespread throughout the Americas, from Alaska to the southern tip of South America. It's a common sight in open habitats like fields, grasslands, and even urban areas. They often perch on telephone wires or trees, scanning for prey. They are known for their distinctive hovering flight, where they remain suspended in the air before diving to catch insects or small mammals. 2.5 Flash (Edited) Seventeen subspecies are recognized Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1) π·: Photo by Beto_MdP via Pixabay https://pixabay.com/photos/hawk-red-falcon-birds-raptors-7455627/ ISUQ

Three young kestrels having their own playground to spar with each other. Two more were practising hovering, probably one of them the parent showing the ropes. πͺΆ #kestrels #torenvalk #jaarvandetorenvalk
