Just about every weekend, I take the boys around Old Saybrook on a route we call "The Loop." I am not sure of the roads, but we end up passing by Knollwood Beach, Harvey's Beach, and The Causeway.
On the telephone wires near one of the beach bungalows I spotted a small bird sitting by itself. Pulling over and grabbing my camera, I took several great shots of a neatly attired American Kestral.
The Kestral had fluffy breast feathers spotted with gorgeous little circles. The double vertical lines on its face gave it a fierce look, like a small child putting on warpaint to play cowboys and indians. Nice bird to watch.
