American Kestrels

What a beautiful day today, spring was here. Incredible push of Kestrels on the Island, I had 26 birds without putting in a lot of effort. Also a good number of Yellow-rumped Warblers in Newbury. Other highlights were; 3 Osprey (FOY), 4 Snowy Owls, and a Short-eared Owl. I snapped a few pictures, but mainly I was just birding today.
