since getting my first shot of a Kestrel, which I now know was a male, I've learned the color differences in the male & female. The male has bluish/gray wings & spots on the chest. The female has brown wings with darker lines & lines on the chest - like yours. So you may well have a female with a nest - - that would be wonderful. Hope to see some more shots from you of this little lady.

Lil, I am sure you are correct - thanks for the information. I certainly hope this "gal" is on some eggs! Steve W
