Though tiny, the American Kestrel is every bit a falcon, ounce for ounce. They may not catch prey quite as big as their larger cousins, but still possess the swiftness to capture small birds and large winged insects in flight.

They've also got huge personalities to make up for their small size. My father's favorite bird was his first - a kestrel.
Told the story once of having some left over ground meat wrapped up in plastic wrap. The kestrel managed to find a way to shuck its jesses, flew right over and chowed down. It ate every bit of that meat - and the plastic wrap, too. He came back in to find the bird on the counter, literally too full to fly and so crop-heavy it couldn't perch upright.
The plastic wrap didn't hurt the bird any - it went down in only a couple of big pieces - but the bird was casting plastic-wrap pellets for a little while after that.
