2010 KESTREL NESTING CALENDAR

Notes:
    - Updated August 31 at 9:30 p.m. (For reference, last year's nesting calendar follows this year's calendar.)

    - Four kestrel nests appear to have failed for 2010. At the Théding nest in France, the kestrels did not appear; at the Beleef de Lente nest in the Netherlands, jackdaws stuffed the nest with twigs, then Stock Doves took up residence; at the Claudia and Ics nest in Italy, the nest with 5 eggs failed when the female became sick; at the Rhine nest in Switzerland, the kestrels appear to have abandoned the 3 eggs laid 5/11-16.

    - While the first clutch at the Highlander nest in Switzerland was a success, the second clutch of 4 eggs laid in late July failed when the female went missing around 8/15.

    * Incubation time is approximately 28 to 29 days. Time from hatching to fledging is usually 28 to 35 days.

    ** The chicks moved out of cam range so unsure when or if they fledged.

    ** The cam went offline so unsure when or if the chicks fledged.


2009 KESTREL NESTING CALENDAR

Corrections/Updates:

    * Two kestrel nests are incorrectly listed. "Germany - Highlander" should be "Switzerland - Egerkingen (Highlander)" and "Germany - Lausen" should be "Switzerland - Lausen."

    * The following 2009 information for the "Netherlands - Groningen" nest was not available until April 2010.

      Eggs = 6 (April 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24)
      Hatches = 3 (May 18-19)
      Fledges = 3 (June 19th)
