Comments:
There has been an American Kestrel seen taking chicks from
the Preserve this past week. Attempts were made to trap
it, but no success yet. Wally & David have placed a
few more scarecrows inside the Preserve to continue to keep
the crows away.
The season appears to be winding down. We haven't seen any
more courting or adults sitting, etc. A special thanks goes
out to all the docents who have and continue to volunteer
their time.
Until next week . . .
—Cyndie
