We watched the Eurasian Kestrel put on a great show. It perched, flew, hovered, hunted successfully twice, fed, and rested in the open. While we watched the falcon we were also able to see a light phased Rough Legged Hawk, two different Harriers, and a beautiful almost all white Snowy Owl. This all took place within an hour without having to walk from the car, good thing as it was very windy and cold! There was also a good company of people watching for the Kestrel, we visited with men from New Brunswick, Italy, Halifax, and one man who from Togo was experiencing his first winter! On our way home we stopped at Sullivan's pond and saw four Coots, lots of Mallards, a few Black Ducks, one BlackXMallard, two Hooded Mergansers, two or three Eurasian Widgeons, lots of American Widgeons and a few Herring Gulls. A great day, two lifers this week! Western Tanager, Middleton; Eurasian Kestrel, Hartlins Point.
