Today, while hiking on the Superior Hiking Trail between Cook County 58 and Cook County 14, I saw a small group of Kestrels hunting in an open meadow. The trail follows the first ridge in from Lake Superior, through mixed woodland, and opens up in several places to grassy meadows with beautiful views of the lake and its north shore. There were about five Kestrels hunting the numerous sparrows, who were, however, keeping a low profile.
