NDG birds of prey

Bird of prey brazenly sat in my backyard a couple of winters ago, didn't seem to mind me snapping at him with my inadequate camera. Just stared back as he yanked away at that mouse or sparrow in his clutches. I checked with a bird expert and he told me that it is, I believe, a kestrel. It doesn't make frequent appearances in urban areas.

  1. I hear a bird with a very shrill sound high in the trees on Marlowe street, NDG, close to Westmount and just north of Sherbrooke. Would love to know what kind of bird it is.
