[mou] Science Museum kestrel

[Rob Daves]

Hi, Linda, and fellow birders...

The kestrel has been there since at least Tuesday.  I was in St. Paul to see a client Tuesday morning and swung by the museum to see if I could see the solitare.  No solitare, but the kestrel was tail-stretching and bobbing on several high perches.  What a treat.

Good birding.

The Science Museum t-solitaire was in absentia this afternoon, but there was a very prominent appearance by a kestrel, who perched high at the top of a small tree in the hillside plantings behind the garden area. It then flew toward the river walk, where it was spotted again on the dome of a streetlight. Also present downtown was a red-tail hawk.

At MNRVNW Refuge headquarters there was a small gathering of hawks circling over the marsh, along with resident eagles; other than a couple of cormorants overhead, no one else "newly arrived."
