If you see a small raptor floating in the air looking for prey, you might be seeing an American Kestrel. The smallest of the raptor family, its blue/brown/white feathers are lovely. If you hear the cry, “Klee! Klee! Klee!” it’s a male looking for love. This shawl has a broad wingspan so you can swoop it around your shoulders with ease and soar through whatever temperature changes you encounter.
