Creation Season: American kestrel

Creation Season: American kestrel

 

Today’s prayer item comes to you from Miss Natalie, on behalf of her son, who has loved the American kestrel since he was 7. It’s a gorgeous little falcon that can be found in Michigan. Here’s what Audubon has to say about it:

Our smallest falcon, the kestrel is also the most familiar and widespread in North America. In open country it is commonly seen perched on roadside wires, or hovering low over a field on rapidly beating wings, waiting to pounce on a grasshopper. Kestrels nest in cavities in trees; in places where there are few large dead snags to provide nest sites, they may rely on nesting boxes put up for them by conservationists.

We can pray that the American kestrel can continue to thrive and thank God for the beauty of this little creature.
