If you think our Birdorable birds are cute as adults, what about when they are babies? Below are some baby photos (shared via Flickr) of the Common Kestrel. Common Kestrels do not build their own nests. Instead, they use old crow nests or cavities, which means they will use nest boxes, if provided. Three to six eggs are laid and incubation lasts 27 to 29 days. Fledging occurs about four weeks after hatching.
