Here are some pictures sent to me by readers of some wildlife they saw in their backyards recently. Remember the fires that occurred in the Mount Charleston area a while back. Water is a great way to attract all types of wildlife into your yard.

A few month ago I wrote to You about a funny looking at my Sweet Acacia Tree! B U T I am writing you NOT about that.
Here is a photo of a KESTREL FALCON, there was a pair in the spring in my neighbors Pine Tree, and opposite a nest in a palm tree their 2 Baby Kestrels. They lived here until they were able to live on their own.
I had send you also photos of a COOPERS HAWK, I seen in my backyard!
When I picked up the newspaper at 8:10AM today, I heard a bird calling. AND it was this little Kestrel, I run and got the camera and I got quite few nice photos of it, as you can see. AND than I looked up at the Pine tree and saw something moving. BUT it was not the other Kestrel, IT WAS the HAWK.
This Birds are so beautiful, I thought You might enjoy to see them. Now I am worried, that the Kestrels maybe want to breed here again, But with that Hawk around, I do not know.
