Our Small Falcon - American Kestrel

On occasion I have spotted an American Kestrel on the top of of medium sized trees, hovering over a prey site and perched on the occasional road sign. Due to their small size, you might not notice them unless you are familiar with our smallest falcon in N. America.

A beautiful small falcon - 9" tall, this female American Kestrel resides at the Howell Nature Center. She has a permanent wing injury which prevents her from returning to the wild. She is an ambassador bird for the Birds of Prey nature program at the Howell Nature Center.
