Stephanie Hrenchir took this photo at Park Place in Plant City. The American Kestrel is the smallest species of Falcon in North America. They hunt in a wide range of areas but prefer open spaces with fewer trees to maximize their hunting success. Their diet includes grasshoppers, beetles, and moths, but they also consume small mammals like mice or bats and birds up to quail-size.
