My mini road trip with American kestrels

Hi guys.
Thanks for showing love in my last and first post on Steemit. People gave awesome tips to increase reach of my post. Some followed me. [I followed back also ;)]

American kestrels are one of the most beautiful little raptors. After flights, Ace curiously looked upward to observe a passing turkey vulture. The glare of the sun is no problem for a falcon like Ace.

If you look beneath his eye, you'll notice a black stripe. This is known as the malar stripe, and it absorbs sunlight, keeping the falcon's eyes free from interfering glare. 😎
