[EBB Sightings] kestrels

I knew a gal in Wisconsin, back in my crane farming days, who kept a
kestrel. Her little sparrow hawk, oddly enough, hunted sparrows. If you
get enough of them, you can make a nice yakatori. ;)

Kestrels are often used in falconry for beginners.  I think (and this is
an old memory from when I used to work in Sacramento in the 80s, so is
subject to error) that there are 2 classes of falconry permits, and that
the beginner class is restricted in which species they can use.  I have
a hard time imagining what one would hunt with a kestrel, though I
understand grasshoppers can be good eating!
