The sparrow hawk is also called the American kestrel. This little raptor is a falcon.
The diet of a sparrow hawk consists of grasshoppers, lizards, mice, and small birds.
The male sparrow hawk is no smaller than a robin.
This American Kestrel nests in trees, cavities of rocks, cliffs and/or caves. Laying 3-7 eggs per nest, both male and female help incubate the eggs. This bird extends all across North America and can be seen migrating south during winter seasons. This falcon is a wonderful site to see.
