Similar to our Kestrel possibly the most brightly colored of North American hawks. They are very shy of humans and vehicles. I see them perched on electric wires along the road, watching the fields for mice. They will leave their perch, fly ahead and settle on the wire only to have to repeat the operation a few seconds after landing.
