Female Kestrel, Point Reyes National Seashore

This is a photo of a female kestrel as she spreads wings prior to takeoff.

Ready for takeoff.

I went out to Point Reyes Seashore yesterday.  There wasn’t much to see, except for hundreds of people enjoying the day off.  I’m seeing very few elk at Tomales Point since the Park Service let 224 of them die of starvation in 2020 and 2021 while locked up behind that elk-proof fence.   That’s half the herd.

This female kestrel made the day a little brighter.
