Hi friends,



Really new at this. Who do you contat when you find deceased birds. Looked natural for a crow but worried about west nile. Thought it would be good report.

Subject: [Tweeters] Kestrels in Thurston County

Hello to tweets,

A couple of people have posted about American kestrels near Olympia. We found the one along Delphi road awhile ago, and got some pictures (see our nature blog at olypollinators.blogspot.com).

Also on Thanksgiving day we were driving south on highway 99 past the Olympia airport and saw one perched across from the "Jack Davis oak'. Yesterday finally got out again to look for it; saw a female kestrel maybe a half mile south of the airport, again on telephone lines. I have pictures available.
Finally we were driving on Tilley Road in south Thurston county looking for teasel (a long story). It was getting near dusk, and we saw another one, probably a female. I went back yesterday and was unable to find it.

So they are around our area in winter in small numbers, especially along good agriculture lands with a nearby telephone line.
