One of my favorite raptors to see, the American Kestrel. This little guy was finishing his lunch and allowed me to get a few close-ups before flying away.

day 15

today's bird is the american kestrel!

- it's the smallest and most common falcon in north america!

- since they can see UV light, kestrels and other diurnal birds can see the urine trails of small mammals and follow them to their next meal

- unlike other falcons, kestrels cache their food year-round

American Kestrel

This is one of the more colorful falcons that we see in Iowa. They often use utility lines as a hunting perch, however their small size requires them to stay alert lest they become a victim of a larger bird of prey.

BOTD: American Kestrel

Photo: Joseph Gage

"Our smallest falcon, the kestrel is also the most familiar and widespread in North America. In open country it is commonly seen perched on roadside wires, or hovering low over a field on rapidly beating wings, waiting to pounce on a grasshopper. Kestrels nest in cavities in trees; in places where there are few large dead snags to provide nest sites, they may rely on nesting boxes put up for them by conservationists."
