American Kestrel and "friends"

This series of 5 slides shows my observations from quite a great distance .. An American Kestrel as  seen in the fist frames on the left along with a group of Starlings, a Robin and joined by a Flicker .. Then suddenly the entire bunch flew off  and a few seconds later the Kestrel returned to sit where the Flicker was.    Some people refer to this beautifully coloured raptor as a Sparrow Hawk ... Have a great week... TerryV
