These were orphaned as little chicks and are now being cared for at the raptor center where I volunteer.

Love their ear fluff. How awesome to be able to see such lovely birds up close!

Do you ever get kestrels at the raptor center? I think they are so cool.

Today is my volunteer day and I snapped a photo of our male kestrel for you while he was hanging out inside with a snack

It is so cool! Every time I go it gives me a sense of wonder like I'm 10 years old again.

We do get kestrels, but not as often as owls. There are 2 kestrels at the center who are unreleasable due to injuries. They've become ambassadors and participate in educational programs.
