The American Kestrel is just an all-around cool falcon. A true falcon. Sometimes it's referred to as a Sparrow Hawk. Not even, as we used to say. A colorful bird, particularly the male, that is all business. Check out that expression and those talons. Although it's the smallest falcon in North America, it's attitude makes up for everything. You think you've never seen one? It's likely you have and just didn't realize what you were seeing. They can be seen hanging out on phone lines and fence posts over open fields. Plus, they are no strangers to urban areas.
Next time you find yourself cruising the countryside, keep your eyes peeled for this cool bird.
