Description
I love Kestrels. Not only are they the smallest and most common raptor in North America, they are also one of the most colorful. Kestrels are swift, erratic fliers, and can travel at up to 39 mph and can dive at speeds up to 60 mph preferring to snatch their victims from the ground. They have the long, swept back wings that are typical of falcons, allowing them to be very maneuverable in the air.
They eat snakes, lizards, bats, smaller birds, mice, voles, and insects such as beetles, grasshoppers, cicadas and dragonflies.
