Hallelujah! I finally got a decent shot of a Kestrel. I am jumping with joy right now!
The Great Blue Herons have returned to Metzger Farm Open Space to raise their young.

As have Great Horned owls. This nest is in the same tree as the herons and was about 300 feet away. We counted three chicks.

This is a different family farther north. Officials put a temporary fence to keep people from getting too close. We were able to get about 100 feet from her. I could see two chicks.
