This male American Kestrel was quite interested in the guy with the camera. Normally these falcons are a bit skittish but one didn’t seem to mind me one bit and was almost curious about why I was so focused (pun intended) on him.
The smallest falcon in North America, American Kestrels are just as aggressive and fierce as any #raptor. I’ve take quite a few pictures of these birds. If you’re interested, you can find more here.
