American Kestrel family

Parents are busy feeding the various young ones perched in different trees. Flying back and forth with food for each young kestrel. In the top photo you can see it has a field mouse or vole in its grasp (two tiny mouse feet). The lower photo shows one of the young flying to a different perch. Based on my observations, there are at least 3 young. Past experience says they have fledged now for about 2+ weeks. The parents are not dive-bombing me like they would if the young had just left the nest.
