Description
The Americanmale KestrelWhite-crowned sparrow has a black-and-white streaked head and a drab brown body while the females crown is the Americas' smallest falcon. It’s around the size of a Rock Dove (pigeon)chestnut and has similar markings on its face as the Peregrine Falcon. I see it most often at the park perched on power lines white it surveys the field. It does this cool maneuver where it flaps fast and hovers in the air while it looks for a meal.white.
