American Kestrel While not truly a Kestrel, but a small falcon, this little raptor has become one of my favorite birds. I haven't seen it lately, but when I used to walk around the factory island...this little Falcon used to follow me. Tags: American Kestrel Saco River Factory Island Maine Birding |

Kestrel Rescue at Number 10 9 July 2008. A young kestrel has been rescued in the Number 10 garden. The youngster, nicknamed PJ, had been abandoned by it's mother and was at risk from crows, cats and torrential rain. The Royal Park's wildlife expert is now caring for the bird and he's promised to keep us informed of PJ's progress. As soon as we get any news we'll pass it on.

Rosie the kestrel This is Rosie. She's about 23 years old. She can't fly too well, and has some trouble with arthritis. However, she does get cared for very well and has her own flight pen at an animal rescue and rehab centre - Lower Moss Wood. Visit their website here: http://www.lowermosswood.org.uk/ In this video, I'm 'helping out' by cleaning Rosie's cage and flight, and needed to move her. She's got a routine which involves her sitting on your feet, then you lift your foot up and lower your arm, and she climbs onto your arm. In this case, I haven't got a glove on, so she's sitting on my elbow, protected by my fleece. It looks a bit awkward, and if I look a bit wary of her, it's because she can be quite sharp and has a tendancy to do everything with her claws! However, she's quite well behaved, and goes for a little ride to the back of the cage while I clean it out and give her some more food. Tags: kestrel bird wildlife rescue |

VH-71 Kestrel (Maiden Flight) The first test VH-71A, Test Vehicle #2 (TV2), made its initial flight on July 3, 2007 at AgustaWestland's facility in Yeovil, UK.Lockheed Martin is already using an EH101, designated TV-1, for initial testing in the USA, including landings on the White House lawn.The VH-71 "Kestrel" is a variant of the AgustaWestland EH101 which is being developed to replace the United States Marine Corps' Marine One Presidential transport fleet. The aircraft is being produced by the Lockheed Martin-led "US101 Team," which comprises Lockheed Martin Systems Integration - Owego, AgustaWestland, and Bell Helicopter.On 23 July 2002 Lockheed Martin and AgustaWestland signed a ten-year agreement to "jointly market, produce and support a medium-lift helicopter in the United States."This helicopter was the US101, a derivative of the EH101. The companies envisaged marketing the aircraft in three roles; US Air Force combat search and rescue, US Coast Guard search and rescue, and US Marine Corps executive transport. On May 15, 2003 AgustaWestland signed an agreement with Bell Helicopter to undertake final assembly of the US101 in the United States.AgustaWestland will produce the main rotor blades and main fuselage sections at its Yeovil, England facility. The company will produce other components, including the gearbox, at its Cascina Costa, Italy facility. This represents a work share of 36%. The remaining 64% work share is split between Lockheed Martin (31%) and Bell Helicopter (27%) and others (6%).The U.S. Department of Defense issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) on December 18, 2003 for the supply of 23 helicopters to replace the 11 VH-3Ds and 8 VH-60Ns of USMC HMX-1 squadron. This requirement was given the designation VXX (V being the prefix for VIP aircraft and XX representing the then unspecified numerical part of the designation). Both AgustaWestland and Sikorsky responded to the RFP. Sikorsky proposed the VH-92, a variant of the H-92 Superhawk, in partnership with FlightSafety International, L-3 Communications, Northrop Grumman, Rockwell Collins, Vought Aircraft Industries, and GE-Aviation. On January 28, 2005 the Department of Defense announced that it had selected the US101 for the VXX programme. The US101 team was awarded a $1.7 billion contract for the VXX system development and demonstration (SDD) phase.The price of the development later rose by 40% to $2.4 billion.The full cost of the project is estimated at $6.1Bn, although some analysts expect the cost to rise above $7Bn, making this the most expensive helicopter ever, with a unit cost of $270m.In addition to rising costs, delays and engineering issues have plagued the VH-71's development.During the ongoing CSAR-X contract controversy (in which the EH101 is LMSI's offering), the Air Force source selection authority has, on several occasions, referred to Lockheed's VH-71 program as having "unsatisfactory performance". These concerns with the VH-71 have caused the Air Force to cast doubts on LMSI's ability to supply helicopters for a potential CSAR program award; in March 2007 the initial GAO report which upheld Sikorsky and Lockheed's contract award protests versus Boeing's HH-47 mentioned "that LMSI had received a little confidence rating for past performance due to unsatisfactory performance under its current contract for the VH-71 Presidential helicopter, which was evaluated as the most highly relevant to this procurement. According to the SSA, LMSI had "show[n under that contract] that it could not reliably meet important schedule requirements and had difficulty in systems engineering flow-downs to their subcontractors."# Crew: 4 # Capacity: * 30 seated troops or * 45 standing troops or * 16 stretchers with medics # Length: 74 ft 10 in (22.81 m) # Rotor diameter: 61 ft 0 in (18.59 m) # Height: 21 ft 10 in (6.65 m) # Disc area: 2992 ft² (271 m²) # Empty weight: 23,150 lb (10,500 kg) # Useful load: 5,443 kg (12,000 lb) # Max takeoff weight: 34,320 lb (15,600 kg) # Powerplant: 3× General Electric CT7-8E turboshafts, 2,520 shp * Never exceed speed: 167 knots (192 mph, 309 km/h) * Range: 750 nm (863 mi, 1389 km) * Service ceiling: 15,000ft (4575 m) * Rate of climb: 2000 ft/min (10.2 m/s) * Disc loading: 53.8 kg/m² (11.01 lb/ft²) * Power/mass: 0.174 shp/lb (284.9 W/kg) Tags: Lockheed martin Agusta Bell VH-71 Kestrel Presidential transport helicopter USA military aviation Boeing Sukhoi iraq war |

Mom kestrel lays the first four eggs while Dad waits March 30 - April 5, 2007. Two European kestrels are occupying a nest box in The Netherlands. Mom lays the eggs while Dad waits outside. He brings her a mouse (perhaps a vole) and she's very hungry! The eyes of the European kestrel are structured so that it can see ultraviolet light. Using this visionary ability, the kestrel can see where one of its man prey items, the tiny vole, moves about in its runways under the grass. The vole leaves its urine along the runways to mark its territory. However, the urine is visible in ultraviolet light, so the kestrel can see where the voles are moving about.

Wounded Kestrel (day 86) I came across a wounded American Kestrel this morning. I woke up late thinking, "Why'd I hafta wake up late?" then headed to work by bike. Bout 15 minutes later I was coming up on the Manhattan Bridge bike path when I saw a bird the size of a pigeon flapping its wings but not flying off. I could see it was wounded in its left wing, bloody and loose feathers, then I realized it was a falcon of some sort by the spotting and hooked beak. Beautiful! I spent the next two hours getting it to safety. The bird had been frightened to death whenever a cyclist or jogger passed by, so at one point I got down on the ground with my business jacket, nestled it around the little bugger, and walked him and my bike to a nearby bench where we would call various bird rescues, watch groups, and vet hospital. There's a vet hospital in the Upper West Side that is the only bird rescue safe haven in Manhattan. They said I'd have to deliver it myself. The awesome Rivendell could unfortunately not transport the bird in a jacket through morning traffic and noise--too dangerous for the bird. So two illustrious friends Jody and Alex came and got my bike to bring it home to my apartment. What heroes! Jody identified it as an American Kestrel cos its his favorite animal. Wish I had a video of Alex carrying his track bike on his back while he rode the Atlantis away (Alex was notably on the phone with me earlier to help track down a bird rescue). So this description is hella longer than the actual vid. Sorry I didn't take much video--it really wasn't a priority at the time. The kestrel and I had a peaceful $30 cab ride uptown and the director/bird rehabiliator said it was going to be fine cos it could still flap its wing despite the injury. Hopefully she calls with an update. All thanks to the beautiful Rivendell and two favorite people that guided the kestrel to safety this morning!
