Thank you Camya, Bailey, and Joelle [photos below] for helping with the kestrel box program. What a great crew! Attached are some photos of our recent activities, including putting up sheet metal bands around trees and poles supporting boxes, putting out Amdro on ant nests, and cleaning boxes and putting in new bedding material. The screech owl came out of the box that Bailey is checking. Her happy face is the result of the owl, which she got to see close up when she opened the box and then a bit farther away when it flew out of the box and perched in a nearby tree. Bob Simons
