Sincuidados homeowner Lynne Russell shot this photo of an American Kestrel, which is widespread in North America. Lynne is a McDowell Sonoran Conservancy board member and explained a breeding pair lives on Lone Mountain.
"Our pair nest in saguaros," Lynne said. "You might spot them hovering in one location overhead. They perfectly synchronize flying into the wind to remain stationary allowing for easy prey scanning below. The rusty coloring identifies this as a male."
