American Kestrel: Pint-Sized Predator

Colorful, noisy, and brash, the American Kestrel is the most endearing of North Americaâ€™s raptors. With its vivid rufous and blue-gray plumage, peppered with dashes of black and white, this bird of prey is instantly recognizable to both novice and expert bird watchers, whether itâ€™sdiving for an insect on the wing or hovering over an open field while hunting for mice. The American Kestrelâ€™s distinctive call, readily heard from miles away, is another identifier that makes this predator more noticeable than others. Thereâ€™s no mistaking its klee, klee, klee, from which it received the nickname â€œkilly hawk.â€

In American Kestrel: Pint-sized Predator, part natural history, part photographic exploration, renowned bird expert and master educator Kate Davis delves into the world of the American Kestrel, inviting you into the safe confines of its cavity nest and favored habitats. Youâ€™ll learn about the American Kestrelâ€™s hunting tactics and prey, breeding strategies, migration paths and patterns, and the kestrelâ€™s current statusâ€”their numbers are declining, and nobodyâ€™s quite sure why. Davis enthusiastically imparts the wisdom she has gained through extensive research and firsthand experience. One hundred astonishing photos shot by Davis and award-winning photographer Rob Palmer illustrate in full-color glory the story Davis deftly weaves.
