Hello All,
I am webmaster and falconer over at http://KestrelFalconry.com It is a website devoted to American Kestrels in Falconry. I just found these forums and thought I would join and say hello. I fly mostly American Kestrels and maybe another Merlin this year.
Here is a video of catching a field mouse with my American Kestrel.
