The American kestrel (formerly known as the sparrow hawk) is the smallest member of the falcon family found in North America. Arguably the kestrel is probably the most common of all diurnal (daytime) birds of prey. Since much online information is presently available, we have included several links to sites that describe the life history and behavior of kestrels, while opting to share some of the background history and information collected from this particular territory.
