All,
The kestrel Patrick Coin saw along Hillsboro St in Raleigh may have been
the female of the pair that has nested for the last four years in the
high-rise apartment building behind the K-mart on Western Blvd. I watch
them all summer from my office on the extreme western edge of the NCSU
campus. last week one of our grad students and I watched the male of the
pair doing some spectacular aerobatics to avoid air piracy from a pair
of crows harassing it. The female watched from a powerline behind my office.
I saw another female kestrel on a powerline wire near the southern Wake-
Johnston County line on Old Stage Road on Saturday.
Take care,
Clyde Sorenson
