American Kestrel / Falco sparverius

American Kestrel / Falco sparverius
When I was out for the day with friends Ron and Trish on 24th April, we were very lucky to come across this beautiful female American Kestrel perched on a high wire, south west of the city. The males especially are such beautiful birds, maybe the most colourful raptor in the world. When I do see these birds, they are always far, far away : )

Length is 22–31 cm, 8.7–12.2 in
Wingspan is 51–61 cm, 20.1–24 in
