Jay Sheppard and I checked out the North Track areas that border Tipton Field, we also checked out the habitat along the road at Tipton Field, and then we headed to Annapolis Junction Business Park which has excellent habitat, too. We had no luck finding the flycather.

For anyone interested in seeing or photograhing an American Kestral, there are at least 25 of them at the Annapolis Junction Business Park. Just drive to the end of the street and scan the power lines directly in front of you that stretch northwest-to-southeast. The fields are hopping with one of their favorite food (grasshoppers) and there is plenty for everyone. Be sure to check the street lamps as they could be sitting on top of them, too.
