Our Yellowstone Zoo
- photos from our property -
Today, we had an osprey with a mate stop by our nesting platform -
exciting news around here!

Could you imagine if they decided to nest here?? Oh, the photos I could get!
Shortly after the osprey took off, two kestrels tried it on for size.

We've seen the male kestrel around lately, but this is our first sighting of the female. (The female is the one sitting at the bottom.)

We have a kestrel nesting box, not too far away, so hopefully they will be able to work it out.
And while we're on the subject...

I painted Hawks In A Box at the Yellowstone Heritage and Research Center. They're sharp shinned hawks cataloged in their collection - found near Mammoth and Old Faithful.
