Maybe from where you are from they are different..... from Wikipedia "The American Kestrel (Falco sparverius), sometimes colloquially known as the Sparrow Hawk, is a small falcon, and the only kestrel found in the Americas"

We just saw our first Sparrow Hawk in our back yard on the utiliy wires what a beautiful sight. We hope it was after all the pigeons we have here>

I live on a golf course in Nashville and just saw a kestrel. He hung out for an hour, what a beautiful bird!
