The Ron Shields Report
Here some recent images from DeKorte Park. They include one of several kestrels, a pair of inquisitive ravens and some gadwall ducklings (above).
Now, take a close look at the red-tailed hawk (below).Notice anything familiar? It's the falconer's hawk from the fall with jesses (visible) and bells (not visible). You can still hear the jingling as the raptor takes flight.
Pix of kestrel and ravens follow.
