This is a female American Kestrel. We found her sitting on a post while driving through open country/farmland. I think kestrels are fascinating to look at, as their colouring and markings are quite unique. Fun Facts: - American Kestrels are North America’s smallest falcon and one of the most colorful of all raptors. - As with most birds, the male is considerably more colourful than the female. The male kestrel has a slate-blue head and wings, with a rusty-red back and tail; The female has the same warm reddish colour on her wings, back, and tail, with slate-blue colouring on her head only. - They hunt for insects and other small prey in open territory, frequently spotted on wires/poles/posts. - Interestingly, they sit facing the wind, using their long tails to balance/stay in place. - Females are larger than males by approximately 10 to 15%. In general, American Kestrels are the about the size of a blue jay. #nikon #nikonmirrorless #bestbirdshots #bestbirdsofinstagram #birdphotography #birdsoftheworld #best_birds_of_ig #best_bird_shots #best_birds_of_world #feather_perfection #birdfreaks #bird_brilliance #americankestrel #kestrel #kestrelsofinstagram
An American Kestrel (Falco sparverius)!! This little guy is part of the falcon family and is the smallest and most widespread falcon in North America. Sadly kestrels are in rapid decline with the continent having lost half its kestrels since 1970. Unfortunately scientist are still trying to figure out why this is happening, perhaps due to climate change, different pesticide use in agriculture, etc… Dr. Smallwood a professor of biology at Montclair State University has been studying this issue for a number of years and hypothesizes that grasshoppers may be why they are declining. Young kestrels rely heavily on insects such as grasshoppers, but pesticide use in fields has reduced the abundance of insects. Without the insects, young kestrels will have to catch mice and other rodents for food, which can be tricky for the young birds. However much more research is needed and hopefully we will be able to stop this devastating decline of kestrels. . . . . . #kestrel #kestrelsofinstagram #kestrels #americankestrel #bird #birdwatching #birding #birdphotography #birdlovers #birds #birds_captures #falcon #birdcollective #birdconservation #conservation #conservationphotography #wildlifeconservation #sharecangeo #natgeoyourshot #nikonphotography #nikon #nikonphotographer #wildlife #wildlifepreservationcanada #wildlifephotography #audubonsociety Nikon Coolpix P510

The American Kestrel caught my attention with his loud calls as I looked around I found him perched at a distance on the top of the pine tree.

Someone call a doctor because we’ve been struck with a case of Baby Kestrel Fever! 👶🌡️ Nest boxes hosted by us @clifton.institute and by our friends @thefarmatsunnyside and @oakspringgardenfoundation are all celebrating the first eggs to hatch in our camera boxes. 🐣🥳 These hatchlings are still very young and for the next month will require the care of their parents for food and protection until they’re old enough to leave the nest (otherwise known as fledging) and learn how to hunt and survive on their own. 🪹🪶 This is only the beginning of our nests hatching with many more hatchlings expected within the next few weeks. We’re excited for their arrival and can’t wait to share more with you! 🥚🐣 • Picture 1 & 2: less than a week old hatchlings @thefarmatsunnyside • Video 1: Day-old hatchlings @clifton.institute • Video 2: Week-old hatchlings feeding on a sparrow with their mom who is wearing a GPS unit. • • • #americankestrel #falcosparverius #falcon #bird #birdofprey #conservation #wildlife #wildlifebiology #nestling #hatchling #hatching #ornithology #ecology #foraging #migration #spatial #reproduction #piedmont #virginia #rappahannock #fauquier #cliftoninstitute #oakspringgardenfoundation #thefarmatsunnyside

The American Kestrel, or Falco sparverius, is the smallest and most common falcon in North America. In terms of size, it ranges from 8.7 to 12.2 inches long with a wingspan of 20–24 inches. Females are larger than males, typically by about 10% to 15%. Males like this one, weigh between 80–143 g, and females between 86–165 g. It typically hunts by sitting on perches and watching for prey on the ground. It can also hunt from the air and even hover with fast wing beats to zero in on its target. The diet includes insects like grasshoppers, lizards, mice, and small birds such as sparrows, which helps it thrive across various regions. The American kestrel nests in holes in trees, cliffs, buildings, and other large structures, and can lay three to seven eggs that both the male and female incubate. #nature #naturelovers #aves #birds #kestrels #falcons #americankestrel #kestrelsofinstagram #ecuador #wildlifelover #travelphotography #wildlfiephotography #travelgram

“It can be tough being one of the smallest birds of prey. Despite their fierce lifestyle, American Kestrels end up as prey for larger birds such as American Goshawks, Red-tailed Hawks, Barn Owls, American Crows, and Sharp-shinned and Cooper’s Hawks, as well as rat snakes, corn snakes, and even fire ants.”—allaboutbirds.org. #americankestrel #kestrel #kestrels #raptors #raptorsquad #raptorsofinstagram #allaboutbirdstoday #birdfacts #birding #birdingphotography #birdingdaily #nuts_about_birds #photooftheday #birdphotos #birdphotographer #birding_photography #birdlovers #birds_captures #birdlover #birdgeek #shannonhobbsdesigns #birdingdays #californiabirding #californiaaudubon #audubonsociety #nationalaudubonsociety #ocbirds #ocbirdsofprey #ocbirdseyeview #nuts_about_wildlife

This special patient had quite a long road to recovery, but we are happy to announce that she was finally released last week! ❤️ Back in January, we received a call about this American Kestrel with a broken wing. She had unfortunately been kept by her finders for two weeks, and was desperately in need of medical attention. X-rays revealed a fracture to the right ulna. Since it had been several weeks since the fracture occurred, we were concerned that it would be too late for this bird, and that the fracture would have already healed incorrectly. Nonetheless, we wanted to give her our best efforts. After many weeks of wing wraps, physical therapy, medications, and cage rest, this resilient girl showed great improvements. We then moved her to an outdoor enclosure to regain some strength, and she was finally cleared for release last week! We’re so happy that this story had a good outcome, but that is not always the case for animals that have been kept by the public for prolonged periods of time. Here’s your reminder that it’s always best to get injured and orphaned wildlife to a rehab facility as soon as possible to get the care that they need! #wildlife #wildliferehab #widlifeconservation #wildliferescue #wildlifephotography #kestrel #americankestrel #birding #birdsofinstagram

The smallest and most common falcon in North America, the American kestrel, also known as the Falco sparverius, is a bird of prey that is known for its unique behavior of perching and scanning the ground for prey. In order to conserve energy, the kestrel will perch and scan, but it can also be seen hovering in mid-air, using its rapid wing beats to stay in place while it searches for prey such as insects, lizards, mice, and small birds. #kestrels #falcon #americankestrel Photo taken in Corcoran, Ca.
✧ A Mothers Revenge ✧ - A kestrel seeks revenge on a European Starling after it kills and eats her chicks. In the U.S, European starlings have a devastating impact on our native ecosystems in the entire United States. This species is known for their aggression towards other cavity nesting birds, outcompeting native species for nesting spots and food sources. They’ve been known to kill many native species from bluebirds, to woodpeckers, to kestrels. They are violent towards competing species, destroying their nests, and pecking holes in eggs laid by other birds. Not to mention, they also destroy crops and devour multitudes of grain each year. - I wanted to portray something intense to kind of grab people’s attention to this problem. Most people don’t know how horribly invasive they are. While they’re pretty birds, they’re not meant to live in the United States. I wanted to use colors like red (to represent anger, sadness, revenge, betrayal) to portray what native species have to endure every year towards a bird that was never supposed to even come in contact with them. And colors like yellow (to represent wrongfully perceived innocence and guilt). The spills of blood can be represented as the successful revenge the kestrel has, or, the multitudes of blood spilled from native species by European Starlings. - Did you know? All the European Starlings in North America descended from 100 birds set loose in New York’s Central Park in the early 1890s. The birds were intentionally released by a group who wanted America to have all the birds that Shakespeare ever mentioned. It took several tries, but eventually the population took off. Today, more than 200 million European Starlings range from Alaska to Mexico. - - #art #artistsoninstagram #artist #artwork #artofinstagram #illustration #digitalart #digitalillustration #procreate #animalart #queerartist #nature #wildlifeart #animalartist #drawing #animal #animals #natureart #bird #birds #invasivespecies #invasive #starling #europeanstarling #kestrel #americankestrel #birdart #birdartist #avianart
American Kestrel above Main Road in Tiverton. I saw this while walking Nutley and Midge (actually Aero and Koda but they are misnamed). I walked home, fetched my camera, and returned. During the interim, the bird moved approximate 20 yards to a different wire. It pays to go back! . . . #americankestrel #kestrel #kestrelsofinstagram #falconsofinstagram #birdsoftivertonri #rhodeislandbirding #littlerhodybirding
Did you know the American Kestrel, our beloved namesake, is one of the most rapidly declining bird species in the state? 😥 This is why we launched the Kestrel Nest Box project in 2012, which helps provide nesting spots for these birds as well as valuable data used by the state ornithologist to study the falcons' population decline.

Since I have been wanting practice photographing birds in flight, our kestrel Margarita helped me by putting on quite a show last evening. She has been sitting on her eggs for a while and hasn't been out much. She is also a little camera shy, but yesterday she was enjoying the cool afternoon breeze after the storm doing all kinds of aerobatics for approximately 30 minutes, non-stop!!! I don't think she minded me taking her pictures on this occasion. #americankestrel #kestrel #kestrels #birdsofpray #birds #birdsphotography #raptor #raptors #bestoftheusa_birds #raw_birds #bird #birdscaptures #birdsofinstagram #birdphotography #nuts_about_birds #wildlife #wildlifephotography #wildlifeplanet #feather_perfection #planetbirds #best_birds_planet #eye_spy_birds #your_best_birds #beautifulbirds #utah #utahphotographer #natgeoyourshot #natgeowild #canon #shotoncanon @canon @natgeo @natgeowild @natgeoyourshot @nationalwildlife @women_photographyworldwide @women_wildlife_photography @audubonsociety
En esta ocasión un joven cernícalo americano practica sus cualidades cazadoras ejercitando sus garras, los intentos por agarrar algo ficticio en el aire le ayudarán con la destreza en el futuro. El juego es un componente también muy importante en el desarrollo y destreza de los animales. Cernícalo Americano. American Kestrel.

After weeks of trying, an American kestrel finally sat still long enough for me to make a photograph. #americankestrel #kestrel #birdsofprey #falcon #littlefalcon

Here’s looking at you, kid. 🌳🦅🔭 #Birding is back in a big way at Rio Fernando Park! This juvenile hawk (can you guess the species? Spoiler below!) kicked off our Earth Day walk with a few other early birds and local legend Tom Jackson, @team_ebird in chief in #Taos! We had a blast making the rounds in our various habitat zones at the park to get a count now that #springmigration is in full spring swing. It was a big morning for #raptors! We were able to get eyes on the following list and heard way more using @cornellbirds’ #merlinapp including new arrivals #virginiarail and #commonyellowthroat. 1️⃣ Juvenile #redtailedhawk 2️⃣ Juvenile birders with mature supervisors @j.j.johnston and Tom Jackson 3️⃣ #greattailedgrackle 4️⃣ #redwingedblackbird 5️⃣ #coopershawk most likely but possibly its slightly more petite doppelgänger #sharpshinnedhawk 6️⃣ #americankestrel 7️⃣ #americangoldfinch male with his bright mating season colors just about full in! 8️⃣ #songsparrow 9️⃣ #turkeyvulture group wing sunning 🔟 #whitecrownedsparrow 📷: @feedbirder Big day with lots of sightings! Of course it’s only going to get more active as we approach the actual #globalbigday on May 11 when #birders do a little #citizenscience for the betterment of birds and humans everywhere! #TaosLandTrust even partnered with the Cornell Lab of Ornithology to enhance bird conservation along the Rio Fernando corridor in 2021 to collect baseline birding data to inform public bird habitat restoration demonstration sites with a particular focus on Rio Fernando Park – already a great birding location! To achieve the goal, community members, youth, and avid local birders were tapped to use eBird.com with the park listed as a Hotspot and improve backyard bird habitats all over @taos! Where will you count in @taos? Wherever it is make it count for birds! #cornelllabofornithology #birdsofprey #taos
