Extra Extra Read All About It!!

I interrupt this regularly posted blog to bring you the
breaking news!!! A Kestrel UPDATE.... Today's
happening.

I had wanted to update the Kestrels but nothing
was really happening... She has been sitting by the
nest opening.... just sitting.

A pretty little portrait I took just 3 days ago of her in the tree

5 days ago in the tree eating some lunch.....

Here he is on top of the building after her lunch delivery

The favorite look out... on the pipes on top of the building

From here they watch over their beloved nest....

THEN.................Today after work I wasn't even going
to go look at the nest. I had seen her once and him
not at all.....but something made me go look....

I aimed the camera and zoomed in and there it was.... a baby
head popped up.

Funny how as soon as you see them, a personality seems
to erupt. Curious as ever he's looking up

And then turns to look out of the hole

Dad arrived and I didn't even know the baby was
there with mouth wide open... Can't see that when
you're taking the picture.

Oh! How cute is that...

As soon as dad left Baby #1 stumbles out of hole ....

I'm holding my breath as he puts foot over foot and almost
takes the plunge downward

As soon as he is stable he's looking up in the air
once again! Is he waiting for dad and more food?
who knows?

Watching them is so darn cute...

Oh My Gosh! Is he bored already? Or is he just sleepy?

Or.. is he actually calling dad for more food?

Now, he stretches his legs out long and stands taller...

Well... you know at this point I leave and start home. Tonight
is my youngest grandson's graduation and I have
got to get going... But.....on the way something tells
me to go back for one more last look.
AND AM I EVER GLAD I DID!!!!
Look at what I saw.............


As soon as I drive up I see TWO Kestrels. Now there
is a female on the right of the male.

He has the dots on his chest and she has the brown
streaking.

I can't wait for tomorrow... The fun is just beginning.

To God be The Glory ~~ Great Things He Hath Done
