Kestrel sounds
Kestrels and related small falcons deliver clean single calls, duets, alarm cries and chick begging from close perches or in flight. Several recordings mix in sparrowhawks, hobbies and American kestrels not named in the title. Every clip runs between six and seventeen seconds so they function as distinct vocal events rather than looping atmospheres.
