Although I have far better images of American Kestrels, they were taken at the Coaldale Bird of Prey Centre, near Lethbridge, southern Alberta. I believe the photo above is the first photo I have taken of a Kestrel in the wild that is close enough to be recognizable. It has been cropped to death, so very bad quality, but, hey, it's an American Kestrel (female) at last! Saw it perched way up on a wire when I drove up and down a few gravel side roads, just south west of the city two days ago.
