They have mostly disappeared from urban and edgy places. A decline in insects would make more sense if other birds that utilize this prey were experiencing these declines. My 2 cents, keep up the great blog.<br />Dave NolinDave Nolinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03458836654990583195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072479063452233450.post-44733927192893233912010-12-31T22:08:05.674-05:002010-12-31T22:08:05.674-05:00Good to know there's lots of kestrels somewher...Good to know there's lots of kestrels somewhere, Randy.

Carroll Twp. and Benton Twp., in particular, seem to be teeming with them. I have been spending some lunch hours birding from my car and most days I spot 3-4 Kestrels during my lunch hour.Randy Kreagernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072479063452233450.post-48523835179164898022010-12-28T22:17:59.145-05:002010-12-28T22:17:59.145-05:00Yes, Ben - last years' count was 110.
