It’s Meet the Beak Monday! 🦅 Each week, we feature one of the amazing feathered friends that reside at our centre 🤍 This week, we are getting up close with Swift! 🌬️ Swift is a 3 year old American Kestrel that you can often visit here at our centre! He has a charming little personality, and is quite smitten with one of our other kestrels, Emmy! Swift has our team well trained- he is often the loudest bird during dinner time feeding 😆 #americankestrel #islandraptors #kestrel

Queso, a male American kestrel, is imprinted to humans, having been kept illegally as a pet. He loves to “talk” with us while he’s eating and he loves to try to share his food with us, which we politely decline 😂 Moral of the story: if you find a baby bird, contain it in a warm dark box and call a wildlife rehabber right away! #christinescritters #lovemyjob #dayinthelife #queso #kestrel

This female kestrel endured repeated raids on her nest — losing eggs to predators — yet she never abandoned her clutch. Where many birds would give up, she stayed and continued incubating. After 41 days, five eggs survived… and five fluffy kestrel chicks finally hatched. Footage and original research by Robert E Fuller, whose nest-cam work documents the unseen resilience of wildlife in extraordinary detail.

Mouse enjoying a preening session in the the sunshine! Did you know that birds spend 9% of their day carrying out feather maintenance?! Regular preening removes debris, ensures feathers are in the correct position, reduces parasites and helps with feather growth. #americankestrel #falcosparverius #kestrel #falcon #birdofprey

First encounter: butterfly edition 🦅🦋😂 This group of young kestrels spots a butterfly and suddenly forgets they’re future hunters—head tilts, frozen poses, and a very confused “what is THAT?” moment. It’s funny, but also sweet seeing young birds learning the world one surprise at a time. Fun fact: kestrels are naturally curious birds of prey, and in their early days they often react cautiously to unfamiliar movement before learning what’s food, friend, or just flying decoration. Even top predators start with curiosity. #Kestrel #Butterfly #FunnyAnimals

Two hatchlings in one night! The first American Kestrel chicks of 2026 have arrived in Wisconsin! After 34 days of incubation, the first chick was revealed on the evening of May 12 when the female stepped out of the nest box for a short break. Then something remarkable happens! A second egg begins to crack open while she is away, and after she returns with a rodent, a damp hatchling emerges right in front of the camera. She decides it's not time to feed the chicks yet, so she stashes her prey and returns to brood her freshly hatched chicks. Watch LIVE by tapping our link in bio.
