*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.

Never heard of these birds and they are really kind of cute. Good job.
Such a tiny beauty, both the haiku and kestrel Fun fact: I've always wanted a kestrel.
Love me some kestrels!!! They were the first bird of prey I saw in the UK. Can still watch them for hours since they are masters of hover. Great spotlight Bill!
Oh wow, it's amazes me so much that he can hover at one spot for so long like that. Loved your poem!
