Re: [cobirds] Can someone identify please?


😍
What a beautiful American kestrel fledgling!!! 
Have you seen the parents around? Keep an eye from a distance (ideally from indoors) to monitor the bird. In the image they do not appear to be injured, but the behavior and parental presence is key. 

If the bird truly appears to be injured, google "animal help now" to find your nearest raptor rehabilitation facility and contact them. Do not try to help the bird yourself. What town are you located in? 

Thank you,

This bird has been standing in the exact same spot on our burn pile for two days now. I think it may be injured. I'm not sure. It allowed me to get within 12 inches of it to take one of these pictures. All he did was look at me and make no attempt to try to get away. It is a little smaller than an adult Robin. Obviously, it isn't a robin.
