I didn’t think any more of the incident. Then the other day, the DF&C noticed something caught in the inner branches of a large and fairly dense bush next to the front door.
It was the body of an American kestrel, the smallest member of the hawk family, a juvenile female, to be exact.
My guess would be that the kestrel, just learning to hunt, was eying the hors d’oeuvres landing on the feeder and dive bombed a chickadee or sparrow, which fled past the glass door and dove into the bush for cover. The kestrel then crashed into the glass and tumbled into the bush, where it expired.
Geez!
