My wife an I have lived in Roslin, Ontario, for 4 years, and since we moved here, we have had Kestrels come and nest in our garage.

The first three years they had 3 young and this year there are 4.

We thought your onlookers would like to see a few shots of them.

The pictures were taken July 1/2011.

Please enjoy them as we really enjoy watching them.

Wow - what great pictures!

You are so lucky to be able to observe these interesting birds, first-hand - the rest of us have to watch Wildlife programs on TV!

Thank you so much for sending these to us - please send more as the young get bigger, I'm sure our readers would love an update!
