Birding from the Van

Continuing rain, cold and snow in the recent days have caused us to choose to do most of our birding from the van. It's a good option. It's warm and dry in the van, and a comfortable way to bird without causing pain to my back. 

This bird, a female American Kestrel, America's smallest member of the Falcon Family, was spotted while driving on Sauerkraut Rd. in rural Polk County. Here is our eBird Observation List.
