American Kestrel

 

American kestrels are common along the Jordan River Parkway throughout the seasons

 

 

On several occasions I was fortunate enough to have a pair of birds in my viewfinder!

 

These birds were commonly called, "sparrow hawks" in the past

 

 

Coloration of this bird, to me, is marvelous!

 

 

On this particular day, I observed 3 kestrels, each with 'dinner' in their talons.

 

 

Photographing in rapid sequence and pasting the series here gives some understanding of their flight patterns
