The American Kestrel is a small bird of prey that is commonly found in North and South America. It is known for its striking plumage, which includes a rust-colored back and wings, a blue-gray head, and a white and black striped face. The American Kestrel is a skilled hunter, feeding on insects, small mammals, and birds. It is also a popular bird for falconry, due to its small size and agility. This bird is currently listed as a species of least concern, but its populations have declined in some areas due to habitat loss and pesticide use.
