These little kestrels are growing up way too fast!

Image

I'm beginning to think that one at the bottom of this picture is a male, and the one at the top is a female.

Image

They both have the cutest faces!

Thanks for the pictures, Beth. Here's another that shows the colors a little better, perhaps. Females have an all-over striped pattern on their backs, while males' backs have a solid brown area with some black spots. I think the chick at the top is female, and the one at the bottom is male.

Here's another picture that shows the colors of the male. He's on the top, and she's on the bottom.

We'll have to enjoy them while we can - they could fledge as early as Monday, August 23.

And here's another of the female just now up in the air.
