Today on two different occasions, I had a Black-headed Grosbeak in my feeder . Earlier this week, I heard a glorious song, and found a Spotted Towhee in my binolculars. It also appears the Kestrels are indeed nesting in a box in our yard. It has been entertaining to watch the male bring mice for the female. He calls her out of the box, the prey is transferred to her, and he watches nearby as she eats in a treetop. On one occasion the female took the mouse to a fence post. A hawk (I think a Cooper's based on the size of it), swooped in and grabbed up her dropped mouse. A futile attempt was made at reclaiming the meal with the two kestrels in hot pursuit of the hawk flying off with the stolen catch.
I have the good fortunate to be in the audience of some wonderous Springtime nature dramas!
