Is this an American Kestral?? Looks like a dead bird I found next to our house last year. Don't know why it died but it sure was a pretty bird. This is a wonderful capture of a beautiful bird. #2519368

Candice C. Calhoun March 10, 2006

It may be, if that is a small member of the falcon family, which is what this is. Thanks so much for your very kind comment, and sure am sorry to hear about that bird!
