Thanks! I'm sure in the right open country farmland ect they are there, when we were in Florida 30 years ago in the winter East coast Kestrels were very common migrants, although many remain around here in the winter in the wheatfields they are still common to see. It would be hard to make a Red shouldered due to size but could be made reduced scale it would be fun to do a buteo. It would be not that much work for a small accipiter like a small male coopers or a sharp shinned. So many ideas more than time!
