A big thanks to kittenface for spotting egg #4 and to Beth for spotting egg#5 at the NY Kestrel nest!

P.S. I posted an updated Kestrel Nesting Calendar early this morning, but it's already way out of date. I hope to have time to updated it again tonight.

:loveshow: Beth - Nice catch of the two new chicks at Nebraska!

P.S. I'm quite sure it's the female that's been in the nest box lately, not the male. I had to hunt a bit, but I finally found the topic "About the American Kestrels" that has a picture (from the Nebraska nest) of the different coloring and patterns between males and females.

Thanks Catbird for the 2009 photos...I quess I was thinking of the head markings for the male
as being dark and blue. Very glad mom has been in the box, I was worried!!

Great catches Beth and Kitten! I checked on the nest in this afternoon, and it looked like there were 3 hatches.

Thanks for the pictures Alison! You're right - that one little chick really is pink. I hope it's just the lighting in the nest box and not something wrong with it.
