Wednesday Wildlife



An American kestrel (Falco sparverius) is displayed by the "Eagle Lady" at Guadalupe River State Park on January 11, 2009.  This bird is also known as the sparrow hawk.  It is the only kestrel found in the Americas, and is the smallest falcon (and the smallest raptor) in North America.
