Did you know that female and male American Kestrels don’t often live in the same habitats during the winter in their southern range? That’s right—females flock to the species’ usual open habitat, while males often head to areas filled with trees.
This could be because the females get a head start on fall migration—arriving at their wintering grounds and marking their territories well before the males appear at the scene, leaving the wooded areas to the males.
