The American kestrel is the smallest falcon in North America, but I just love the little guys. So much attitude in such a little package... but they have a softer, gentler side as well, at least when raising a family is concerned. Here's a pair at the entrance to their nest, papa perched on the outside, and mama in the doorway...

SQUIRL033, You have combined photo skill, natural history, and an unusually image of the pair of A. Kestrels with the ID of the sexes of the birds. Thanks for your post.
