4in L X 3.25in W X 7.5in H
The American Kestrel may be North America’s smallest raptor but by no means does that diminish its abilities as a hunter as evidenced by those impressive talons. What it lacks in size the kestrel makes up in coloration since it is considered the most colorful of raptors. Often found perched on a wire or a pole, the kestrel will pump its long tail to keep its balance while scanning for an unfortunate grasshopper. The sculptors and painters at Herend had no desire to embellish such a dignified bird and beyond adding fishnet to make the kestrel one of their own, have adhered to nature’s composition and colors.
