I've looked long and hard in the area to find a Kestrel nest site that is not hidden by leaves or clutter free and this site is the best one so far. This is a dead cottonwood so no leaves cover the area. Unfortunately, the angle of nest never gets direct sunlight so I do the best I can. This was shot from a car blind about 75 feet away. Mom and dad are bringing in food in earnest. I prefocus the hole and hope for the best. This shot is not tack sharp but its close. The kids should be peeking out of the hole in a week or two.
