Not a kestrel but a sharp-shinned hawk. Note the rounded wing shoulders and the notched tail. They are also larger than a kestrel. Subtle differences between two very cool birds of prey. Nice photo!

Fair enough. He looks big in the pic and the notch in the tail could just be the way he’s sitting. The notch is usually the giveaway that it’s the hawk. They are pretty hard to tell apart unless you see the bird in the air.
