Hi Tweets,



I was at North Creek county park, right in downtown (if you can call it that) Mill Creek, and I had a pair (male/female) of American kestrels in that area. Don't often see these guys outside of more rural areas, so I was a bit excited to see them, particularly a pair, in the little island of North Creek Park in the middle of suburbia Mill Creek. This a great little park with coyotes, a few breeding amphibian species, occassional shrike, harriers, Cooper's hawk, rt hawk, b. eagle, many many snipe, many songbirds, waterfowl and wading birds plus many other taxa found in suburban/urban wetlands. Just off of I-5 down 164th, take a right (south) on Mill Creek Blvd. Park up the road at the designated parking area on your left (east). Hope more kestrels start showing themselves outside of their rural haunts - a nice surprise!



Cheers,

Chris Anderson

North Seattle
