OK, but why is the American Kestrel's genus name "Falco" Uh, because I'm wrong and I put my foot in my mouth? Actually, after a little quick research I'm more confused. It appears that perhaps hawks are a subgroup of falcons but I'm not sure. Are all hawks falcons, vice-versa, or neither? At any rate, I found several examples of Kestrels being called hawks and also falcons. For sure it's a bird of prey. I think I know that much. I also know that Falcons are Fords.
