I love kestrels
Kestrel hovering. Kestrel head movement result of my shaky hand at 1100mm on the lens not the bird's fault. They put a lot of effort into keeping their heads still.

Cold, showery walk, roll on spring! Highlight was watching the Ravens tumbling together. This last 6 days only 1 has come down but don't think they can be thinking nest building yet? Also Shovelers, Fieldfares, Redwings, Kestrels, Buzzards, Cetti's, Siskins, Great White Egret #ukbirding

American Kestrels migrating past Mt Watatic #Hawkwatch (MA) this September. A couple brave birds landed on the summit this fall, likely to pick off one of the Carolina Locusts that inhabit the rocky outcrops. This Sept we counted 108 migrants. Always love to see them! #AmericanKestrel #birding 🪶🦅😎✌️

Thought this beautiful Kestrel deserved a post of it's own! We are so lucky here to see numerous Kestrels every day. This one though was very obliging for photos. Look at the colour of it's feet! #ukbirding

Beautiful Birds Without Borders, Kestrels can be found across North, Central and South America. In fact, they can found on every continent except Antarctica.

I love to watch and listen to the antics of birds. The hops. The cocked heads. The brief intraspecies squabbles. The chirps, chortles, tweets, and so many other sounds that defy classification (esp. California quail). The ongoing interspecies rivalries (e.g. kestrels vs. everyone else).

🎉🎉🎉 It's always a thrill to spot an American Kestrel in Central Park. Though it's still quite common, Kestrels are facin a steep decline--at least 50% since the 1970s. This beauty spent quite some time preening early this morning! 🧡🖤🧡 #Kestrel #CentralPark #birding

Couple of imm Kestrels having a bit of a dog fight at Cosmeston Lakes CP this morning in v poor light. Photos are huge crops as they were quite high. Nice to watch tho'. The 1st Kes alighted on the W paddock hedge and was then flushed by the 2nd. I wasn't ready for that! #birdingWales #ukbirding

Kestrels win for flashiest raptor, imo. Their colors are stunning!

Kestrels will sometimes ‘mug’ barn owls, using their speed to steal voles that have been killed by the larger bird.
They are the second most common bird of prey in the UK, behind the buzzard. Worryingly though, their population has halved since 1970.

Last winter, I got to watch American kestrels hunting for bugs. I hope this winter is as good!

Not often you get to look down on a Kestrel hovering but this one was so intent on an afternoon snack he wasn't bothered by walkers on the hill.

Blue-jays make a call that is very much like a red tailed hawk, so that may be what you're hearing. Red-tailed hawks are very uncommon in urban environments. But keep an ear open for kestrels! They're noisy and like cities. Cooper's hawks, too, but they're quiet.

the leggies are too long too. Kestrels have little demure leggies. God I love Kestrels 🥹
