Our American kestrel, “Salem.” Note how small he is compared to the glove he is standing on.The American kestrel is North America’s smallest falcon species and the second smallest falcon in the world. These charismatic birds often charm and entertain bird watchers across their range. They can be found from Alaska to South America and from the East Coast to the West Coast. Their colorful plumage makes them relatively easy to spot compared to most raptors, and their call is incredibly distinctive.
If you have kestrels living in your area, keep your ears open, as these birds tend to be very vocal year round, but especially so during the breeding season. Their call may be descried as a “klee” or a “killy, killy.” They also make excited chittering calls, especially between pairs. Check out this link to hear examples of American Kestrel calls.
