North America's smallest falcon, the American Kestrel (Falco sparverius) packs a predator's fierce intensity into its small body. It's one of the most colorful of all raptors: the male's slate-blue head and wings contrast elegantly with his rusty-red back and tail; the female has the same warm reddish on her wings, back, and tail. Hunting for insects and other small prey in open territory, kestrels perch on wires or poles, or hover facing into the wind, flapping and adjusting their long tails to stay in place.

Wonderful capture of this handsome pair of American Kestrels. They seem to be looking right at the camera.

Fabulous portrait photograph of an American Kestrel pair with great pose, colors, and composition, Dawn! I have worked hard to get a close up of a single Kestrel, which are very quick to flush. Getting a pair of Kestrels together is on my bucket list! F/L
