I went on a tour of the Raptor Center last weekend. The center has noticed a precipitous decline in kestrels. Far fewer kestrels are coming in for rehabilitation. For the past several years, the Raptor Center has been keeping track of kestrels - a small raptor often seen on the side of highways. Kestrels can be identifed by the black teardrops on their faces. If you see a kestrel you could help the Raptor Center by letting them know. Go to http://kestrelwatch.ahc.umn.edu/kestrel_home.cfm I saw a kestrel on Sunday perched on a wire on Highway 47. I reported it and found it took about 3 minutes (and that is on dial-up connection).
