Observation details
Hunting from the top of a spruce tree behind the airport fence (so this is airport property ) but it is directly behind 2nd base of Baseball field 2. It would fly off and return as if it were hunting flying bugs. I do not see any dragonflies though, but I was pretty far away. I have seen some smaller butterflies though in recent days. This is the third day in a row I have seen this bird here. Photos here are highly edited due to my distance from the bird, which is behind the airport fence. Noted added later: I saw a number of very large dragonflies at Riley Creek about a mile away from this location, so there may well have been some of these very large dragonflies in the area of the Kestrel.
