American Kestrel

American Kestrel
Unfortunately, not taken in the wild! I do see American Kestrels in the wild here, but always from a great distance. Seeing this particular bird at the Coaldale Birds of Prey Centre, near Lethbridge, southern Alberta, gave me a chance to see a Kestrel up close. This is a male, as it has a rusty back and blue/grey wing feathers. Really, a very attractive bird. These falcons typically perch on power lines, which helps identify them.
