male American Kestrel
These little falcons are one of the few sexually dimorphic raptors, meaning there are color differences in the males and females. They are very small birds and feed on crickets, small mammals and small birds. They can see into the UV and follow the urine trails of voles and such. Cool, huh? Unfortunately, the car he slammed into didn't leave a urine trail...

What a beautiful face he has! I hope he recovers soon from his ill-advised encounter with a car!
