Another picture of the male from this local nest. Here, he finally gets a break from the kestrels that had been pestering him but he is wide-eyed keeping an eye out for his tormentors. The kestrels have a nest in a nearby stand of trees and don’t really care for the big owls being around. However, both have lived in the same spots for years so while there is sometimes tension, they tolerate each other for the most part. Kind of like how humans are oftentimes with neighbors. 😉
