American Kestrel Nest Box Plans

American Kestrels are found throughout the United States and Canada. They prefer open urban or cultivated areas containing scattered trees or other high perches, such as utility lines. Their habitat is varied, including forest edges, orchards, pastures, and deserts. Kestrels nest in snags, deserted woodpecker holes, and other natural tree cavities, as well as in cliffs, dirt banks, under the eaves of buildings, and in nest boxes.
