0954: hovering.
Observation details
Female seen for ca 1 minute around 0953, hovering in the gentle W breeze, motionless, ca 2-3x the height of the distant spruces, over the field SW of the diversion. Stephen thought he did not see gray on it dorsally, and photos confirmed it was a female. At 1311 on the return I saw a male kestrel perched at the edge of the property on a power pole along Birdseye Rd near a residence with spruces, ca 350 m SW or SSW of the diversion. I looked again at 1317 when a train passed by, and the kestrel was gone.
