Falco sparverius
American Kestrels males have slate-blue wings. Females have reddish brown wings. They are easily identified by the black vertical lines on the sides of their faces. Their backs are a rusty color and the breast has a black dot pattern. They have long square tipped tails with a black band. They often pump their tails when perched. They are about the size of mourning doves.
Golf course in this tree surveying the tall grass below for something to eat. They often snatch their prey from the ground.
