I'm trying to find a good online Creative Commons image of an American kestrel for my webpage: if anyone finds a good one to recommend, please post the link here.
I did find this great page about American kestrels in urban areas

This one is I think standing on a falconer's glove and giving the audience serious side-eye: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:American_Kestrel_2.jpg
This one is soaring against a gray sky; I really like the pose and how distinct the feathers are, but the background is sort of blah and the image as a whole is a little murky due to the lighting conditions: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:American_Kestrel_(11807233195).jpg
This one is also soaring, and the lighting is better, but the pose is more awkward, and also if you were going to use this I'd want to crop it to focus in on the bird a little more: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:American_Kestrel_(45272432995).jpg
