Nature Walks – A Kestrel On The Hunt

I love seeing our American Kestrels. They are beautiful birds, with their striking colors. I don’t see them all that often, but when I do, I get so excited. Kestrels are small falcons. They are birds of prey and hunt for small rodents and small birds. It was exciting enough to see the Kestrel sitting in the tree, but then we saw him go out on the hunt. Within a minute or two after spotting his prey, we then saw him fly off with a small mouse in his beak. He was a very skilled hunter. Once the little mouse was in his sights, it didn’t stand a chance.
