A few days ago I came across this beautiful little American Kestrel in a tree in Valley Forge. My friends on Flickr said I should go back to the tree regularly as the spring arrives because most likely this Kestrel will build a nest in the tree. I went back today but the tree was empty

I looked far in the distance and thought I saw a kestrel in a tree far off in the field. When I looked through my 500mm view finder I was thrilled to see two kestrels on a branch of that far off tree. I slowly walked across the field all along taking pictures hoping they would stay until I got close enough for a good picture. Finally I got close enough for a close up and you can see if you click on the photo they were quite annoyed. Soon they flew back across the field to the point where I started.
