It was cold out and this little American Kestrel (Sparrow Hawk) was creating his own
"down" filled coat in order to keep warm. They aren't much bigger than a
good-sized Robin as you can see by his size in relation to the handler's
gloves.

| American Kestrel (Falco sparverius) is a small falcon. This bird was formerly known in North America as the Sparrow Hawk. This name was misleading because it implied a connection with the Eurasian Sparrowhawk Accipiter nisus, which is unrelated - the latter is a accipiter hawk rather than a falcon. |
