[birding] Luckiamute fledgling kestrel eating ants

[Randy and Pam Comeleo]

Driving in on the gravel road to Luckiamute Landing this evening we 

watched a fledgling AMERICAN KESTREL  running around in the road 

grabbing ants with its feet and bending down to eat them.  It flew 

weakly up the road a few times but was not very wary of our car.  

Other birds of note were a SPOTTED SANDPIPER, an adult BALD 

EAGLE, and many CEDAR WAXWINGS hawking insects over the 

Willamette River.
