OverviewColorful, noisy, and brash, the American Kestrel is the most endearing of North America�s raptors. With its vivid rufous and blue-gray plumage, peppered with dashes of black and white, this bird of prey is instantly recognizable to both novice and expert bird watchers, whether it�sdiving for an insect on the wing or hovering over an open field while hunting for mice. The American Kestrel�s distinctive call, readily heard from miles away, is another identifier that makes this predator more noticeable than others. There�s no mistaking its klee, klee, klee, from which it received the nickname �killy hawk.� Full Product DetailsAuthor: Kate Davis (Duke Clinical Research Institute Durham North Carolina USA) , Rob PalmerPublisher: Mountain Press Imprint: Mountain Press Dimensions: Width: 18.70cm , Height: 0.80cm , Length: 23.00cm Weight: 0.349kg ISBN: 9780878426362ISBN 10: 0878426361 Pages: 103 Publication Date: 01 December 2014 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In stock We have confirmation that this item is in stock with the supplier.
