Chicago outdoors: Kestrel feeding frenzy

0

Notes come from around Chicago outdoors and beyond.

WILD OF THE WEEK

The balminess on Monday was perfect for Paul Vriend, who emailed Tuesday, "There's always one day in December when winter retreats, temperatures raise well above freezing, and insects return to the surface of the earth to poke their heads out. This is the type of day when I go to look for American kestrels in Rosehill Cemetery hitting prey on the ground. During this feeding frenzy, the birds really don't care if I'm around, and they strike repeatedly knowing they need to bulk up for winter. This kestrel was squawking about missing its catch on the ground."

This was all new to me.

WOTW, the celebration of wild stories and photos around Chicago outdoors, runs most weeks in the special two-page outdoors section in the Sun-Times Sports Sunday.
