American Kestrel on the wire

The most common place you will find these little falcons. They love to hang out on the utility wires that run along rural roads, keeping a close eye on the adjacent fields for a quick meal. While they are North America’s smallest falcon, don’t let their size fool you. They can be just as vicious and effective of a predator as their bigger family members. The males, like this one here, are just gorgeous with that blue / gray and orange / brown plumage.
