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.
Diving from a tree line to a meadow while hunting. Along a road through an urban greenbelt.
Apology, only time enough for one shot, so poor focus on this bird. Earlier spotting for details: PN http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/424...
