Foraging Strategies of American Kestrels During Breeding
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
Of the two hunting methods most commonly used by American Kestrels (Falco spar- verius), hovering cost more but yielded more per unit time than perch-hunting, and larger prey were preferentially transported to the mate or young, as predicted by central place foraging models.
