I have seen this little kestrel - fleetingly - many times, but never have been able to catch his picture to really see his details. Guess they're the jumpiest of all the hawks around here. Not the best detail, but I was tickled to catch him at all!
Very common where I live. Good for you in catching this bird. By the way the bird I did not know what kind it was was a Yellow-Rumped Warbler. They are not native to our part of Missouri so they were just passing through.
