Media notes
Kestrel parent stands protectively over a fledgeling that left the nest a bit early. The baby was eventually able to fly short distances a couple of days later, and then we lost track of it.
Observation details
These kestrels took over an owl nest box several years ago and have occupied it ever since. The adult kestrel was on the ground protecting a fledgling that left the nest too early. After a day or so of close protection by the parent, the fledgeling was able to make short flights and then we lost track of it.
