Gray Kestrel

These gray kestrel photos show the tail extends beyond the wingtips, one of the features that distinguish it from the sooty falcon. The 2nd row juvenile (note blue eyering) was in the Maasai Steppe and is courtesy of Frank Priscus Shirima; also see slideshow photo #1, another juvenile. The upper right photo was taken in Kitangire. The immatures (the two 3rd row photos: left, Lake Manyara; right, Tarangire) have a brown wash but are otherwise similar to adults. . The 4th row adult in flight was seen in Katavi, courtesy of Steve Windels. The left 5th row flight photo (Ukerewe Island) is courtesy of Leif Rydell; the left 6th row, Murchison Falls-Uganda, courtesy of Karine Van der Vurst; the right 6th row, western Serengeti, couresy of Amos Pampy Hardecker.
