Falco sparverius
This wet-from-the-rain Kestrel was sitting on a refuge sign and let me drive right up to it for this picture. These falcons will fly directly from a perch to catch prey or may hover over an open field in search of voles or mice, then dive to catch the prey.
Mostly open fields and grasslands.
Lat: 45.80, Long: -122.76
