A rather small bird of prey...is a
falcon...with long wings and tail.
I am Kestrel, the flyer, the soarer,
I am a falcon, I am a Hawk.
Death by air, I hunt the land,
nothing but fresh killed flesh I eat,
I am a taker of life, please understand,
I kill by nature, not by will.
       (Erin Mazur)
Falco means curved blade or
sickle; tinnunculus is Latin for
shrill sounding.
