This 9.25-inch American Kestrel carving was hand-crafted from solid Basswood. The American Kestrel is our smallest and most common Falcon. It can be identified by the russet coloring on the back and tail and the double, black stripes on the white face. When seen in flight from below, the adult American Kestrel will show pale under the wings and the males have a distinctive row of white, circular spots on the trailing edges of the wings. The male also has blue-gray wing coverts.
