Fierce Pose For A Tiny Falcon

Description

The American Kestrel is the smallest species of falcon in North America. They are also sexually dimorphic; this bird's bold orange and blue-gray colors are distinctive of the male.

This kestrel from a raptor rehabilitation facility was actually just sunning himself. It was a cold day, and all of a sudden the clouds went away! He is an education bird and appears in presentations about California's indigenous raptors and the anthropogenic hazards they face.
