The kestrel (Falco sparverius) is the smallest falcon in North America, but dont let its size fool youthis bird is a powerful and intelligent hunter. Unlike most birds of prey, kestrels can hover in mid-air while searching for prey, a unique hunting technique known as "kiting." They have extraordinary eyesight and can detect ultraviolet light, which helps them track small animals like mice. Kestrels are often found in open fields, farmlands, and grasslands, and they usually nest in tree cavities or old wooden structures. Their beauty, speed, and hunting skills make them one of the most fascinating birds in the world.
