	Warner Nature Center : American Kestrel FAQ
		American kestrels are one of several species of raptors that has possibly benefited from deforestation for agriculture in North America because it makes their prey easier to find, and they have learned to thrive in a human dominated landscape.
		Kestrels are an exception to this rule — we know our kestrel is a male because of his slate-colored wings and the generally more colorful body feathers.
		Kestrels also have a "whine" and a "chitter" in their repertoire, and these are both used during male-female interactions such as courtship and copulation (Sibley, 2000).

		However, because there are numerous aspects of harvested forests that are not typical of similar conditions created through natural processes, those areas could also be acting as ecological traps; we need data on reproductive success to determine whether harvested forests are as suitable as suggested by the occurrence data.

	Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Neilsen Kellerman Kestrel 1000 at Epinions.com
		The Kestrel 1000 is an accurate and ruggedly constructed anemometer (we’ll just say it’s a wind meter from now on) that’s a great addition to any backpacker or climber’s pack, and even makes a great gift for those weather-heads out there that need to know everything about the weather.
		Operation of the Kestrel 1000 is very simple, turn on the Kestrel by holding the power button, hold it up perpendicular to the wind direction for a few moments to let it get an accurate reading and then you will have the wind speed readout on the LCD panel.
		One major limitation of the Kestrel 1000 for users in more extreme areas and environments is that it is accurate to wind speeds of only 85 miles per hour.
