I live on acreage in the area described by Brenda Beatty, A pair of kestrels visit every Spring, and have occasionally nested and raised their brood here. It has become a competition between kestrels and flickers each Spring. The varied terrain is a mixture of forest, meadow, and a wide draw. I would be totally okay with a nesting box placed here should you determine there is an appropriate spot. Also, relative to Gary Bowen's comment, several very tall perching poles have been placed on Douglas County's Hidden Mesa Open Space hoping to attract predatory birds in an attempt to modify the snake and prairie dog populations. I'm wondering whether those poles might be possibilities for placement of your kestrel boxes. The Hidden Mesa environment is as you describe.
