This falconry video is an introduction to American Kestrels, and their use in modern falconry. Kestrels are North America's smallest falcon, but they have proven themselves as wonderful hunting companions. An increasing number of new falconers are choosing kestrels as their falconry bird of choice. This video will hopefully help falconers in deciding if this is the bird for them.

Thanks everyone for your patience on this video. This is my first video since getting out of the hospital and I am still recovering. I hope there is enough energy in the video to still convey good info. But if it comes across as too lethargic and you feel it should be remade at some point, just let me know in the comments.

*please note! There is a mistake at the 10:19 mark where I say “Eurasian kestrel” but actually meant to say “European starlings”
