🤩 Bird of the Day! 🤩 ​Check out this flash of color—it’s the American Kestrel! This tiny falcon is a mighty hunter and the smallest, most common falcon in North America. ​Look at those markings! The males, like this one, have beautiful slate-blue wings and a rusty-orange back. They are masters of the air, often seen "kiting" (hovering) over open fields as they hunt for grasshoppers and mice. ​Keep an eye out for them perched on utility wires near open fields! ​#AmericanKestrel #BirdWatching #F

A female nestling kestrel was found on the ground and two feral cats were heading for her when she was rescued and brought to Lindsay Wildlife Rehabilitation Hospital. She came in with a wing droop and with time, rest and meds, she was ready to be returned to the wild after a few short months of care at our volunteer satellite care. During her time in rehabilitation another kestrel was placed with her. He also had been found on the ground and was later diagnosed with metabolic bone disease. He c

The American Kestrel may be the smallest falcon in North America, but don’t let the size fool you — this little sky-ninja can spot a mouse from over 300 feet away thanks to ultraviolet vision that highlights rodent trails. Nature basically handed them built-in night-vision goggles… and they’re using them like absolute pros. 🦅 #AmericanKestrel #BirdFacts #BackyardBirds #FloridaBirding #ThePanhandlePeepShow | The Panhandle Peep Show

The American kestrel is the smallest species of falcon found in North America. Weighing an average of 3 to 6 ounces they aren’t much larger than the typical songbird and often go unnoticed in the wild. When viewed up close it is easy to tell that these birds are in fact falcons and not songbirds, but it is more difficult to identify them when viewed from a distance. American kestrels hunt mainly insects and mice and can often be spotted perching on power lines and in trees near open fields. One

🚨 Our first 2025 admission was released! 🚨 This male American kestrel was brought to us by Lubbock Animal Services on January 1st. They went above and beyond by driving outside their jurisdiction to rescue him. Initially, they thought he had a broken wing, but after some care, we found out he was just really hungry and exhausted. Juvenile raptors face a steep challenge in the wild, with a 60-80% mortality rate if they don’t get the time they need with their parents to learn essential survival

American Kestrel strafing Red-tailed Hawk - Mori Point, Pacifica 10/27/25. While I was videoing the Red-tailed Hawk, I was seeing a bird taking strafing runs at it. It started while the hawk was sitting in a tree and continued when the hawk took off, as well as when the hawk landed and took off again. With my face in the back of the camera and the intruder moving very fast, I couldn't make out what it was. After reviewing the footage I was delighted to discover it was an American Kestrel. It was

Meet the American Kestrel, the smallest falcon in North America — but don’t let its size fool you. With its striking rusty orange back, slate-blue wings, and bold facial markings, this little raptor is built for both beauty and precision. American Kestrels are skilled hunters, using sharp eyesight and swift aerial dives to catch insects, small birds, and rodents. One fascinating skill? They can hover mid-air while scanning the ground — a rare hunting technique called kiting, usually seen in much

Don’t let the American Kestrel’s little size fool you. They’re comparable in size to Mourning Doves, but the American Kestrel’s fierceness is anything but small. They use a hovering technique called “kiting”, which is when a bird uses air currents to stay in place while gently flapping their wings. This allows raptors to watch for any movement of prey below.
