What a great find as a neighbor--and I hope you soon have a kestrel as a neighbor as well. I had to look up this fascinating bird, our smallest falcon:

I would think the sight of a kestrel would be a good step as a "connective tissue to fasten [you] to the Hill." This video showed me what was meant by saying they "kite" to hunt:

Thanks for the video, Julia. The bird in the flick was a Eurasian kestrel, which is not as colorful as our North American bird. The male NA version is breathtakingly beautiful.
