Description
"American Kestrel Profile" by Debbie Oppermann. The colorful American Kestrel falcon is the smallest raptor in America. The American Kestrel packs a predator’s fierce intensity into its small body. It's one of the most colorful of all raptors especially the male with it's slate-blue head and wings which contrast elegantly with his rusty-red back and tail. Common nicknames for this scrappy little raptor include "sparrow hawk" (after the distantly related Eurasian Sparrowhawk), "grasshopper hawk," for one of its favourite prey items, and "killy hawk," due to its shrill call.
