[Maine-birds] American kestrel

While hiking in the Halfway Brook

area this afternoon I saw four small

hawks circling, diving and flying around

a large gravel pit area. They were in

sight, then quickly out of sight. Quite

active in my presence. One landed

on a tree top fairly distant from me,

but stayed put long enough for a photo.

I think they were American kestrels. If so,

it's my first sighting and photo of one.
