If you see a flock of kestrels in southern Europe, then the chances are that they will be Lessers, for the Common Kestrel never flocks, though occasionally in summer you will see a family hunting together. On their breeding grounds in Spain, Lesser Kestrels are very much city birds, for 95% of the population nests in towns.

Golden Eagles have a global breeding population of around 300,000 birds, 3% of which spend at least part of the year in Mexico. Crested Caracaras, though they often associate with vultures, are actually part of the falcon family. They also prefer open country as habitat, and feed on insects, mammals, birds, fish, and carrion.

That bald head, so odd and homely, is actually an adaptation for sticking one’s head deep inside the gut of a deceased mammal. Old World Vultures are nestled within the family Acciptridae along with the hawks and eagles.
