New Hawk at the feeder


Lately, I've noticed a new visitor to my bird feeder.  This American Kestrel usually sits on the very topmost branch of the pine tree that overlooks my feeders.  Yesterday I caught him mid-meal on the telephone pole across the street.  This hawk is small- not much bigger than a dove- and so pretty with his rust colored patches and black eye markings.

they are pretty things aren't they? I see them occasionally along the highways when I'm driving here.
