Abstract:

The American kestrel or sparrow hawk is one of the few hole-nesting hawks. They use abandoned nests of flickers and other large woodpeckers. They are protected by law in North Carolina and cannot be captured or possessed. The male has slate-blue wings and a rusty back and tail. Grasshoppers are a preferred food.
