I’m studying American Kestrels for my Master’s thesis at the University of Minnesota Duluth. My project combines data from 475 nest boxes in Minnesota and Wisconsin, and I’m hoping to learn more about how diet, temperature, and landscape conditions vary across my sites, and what this might have to do with kestrel breeding success! This has been a huge effort, and I’ve decided to run a fundraising campaign to help cover the costs of data analysis, equipment, and mileage for my large-scale project.![]()

It is the last day of the spring count and we are actually counting! We are on W Skyline below Enger Park, at the Rice’s Point memorial. While you’re up here, take a look at the beautiful park gardens that our friends at @duluthparksmn have been working on!
The weather has not been cooperating for the count this weekend, but we will let you know if it clears for us. If that happens, we should be at Thompson Hill today for an east wind flight. ![]()
