Thank you, Lily_love, we hope there is a successful brood, too. We are thinking we'll give this box a couple of years and if they both fail again, we'll just take it down. The box is far enough from the house that we can wander around and they seem to not fly off, but maybe there is something we just do not know.

Not only does she perch on our Tree Swallow box while hunting or resting, she uses one of the Chimney Swift towers to get a good view. After breeding season kicks in, the Swallows are good about protecting their little space and the Kestrels stay closer to their box. so I am not concerned that Kessie will be a problem later. :)

I would like to think she is becoming accustomed to me, since she was perched on this tower when I was out in the feeding area filling things up yesterday. The distance between the two areas is not very far.
