Alert Kestrel
We always look forward to capturing the Kestrel. It’s one of the hardest birds of prey for us to capture as they are usually up high and are quite skittish. The American kestrel is the smallest and most common falcon in North America. It hunts insects, small mammals, and reptiles from a perch or on the wing. Will hover above a field on rapidly beating wings, or soar in place in strong winds above a hillside.
