I returned on Wednesday night from a week away, and on Thursday morning 
discovered that a pair of kestrels had chosen my owl box for nesting. 
Later that day the male was sitting in a birch tree just outside the 
living room window with food (looked like a large insect of some sort), 
which it offered to the female when she showed up responding to his 
calls. She accepted the gift and he mounted her. Shortly after, they 
went over to check out their new home.

On Friday I was working in the yard, and when the kestrels returned from 
doing their thing in the Valley, they seemed somewhat disturbed to find 
me in their territory. Today, Saturday, I didn't see or hear them at 
all. I wonder if they are not too keen on sharing space with humans 
(can't say I blame them).
