CHARACTERISTICS
The Chipmunk is a member of the family Mammalia, Rodentia and Sciuridae. It is also known as the Striped Squirrel, the Timber Tiger and the Mini-bear. The body length among most Chipmunks ranges from 5.5 to 6.3 inches and the tail length is 5 Inches. Chipmunks typically weigh about 0.02 pounds and live about 5 to 10 years. They have small but prominent ears which face forwards, and small eyes on the sides of their heads. Most wild Chipmunks are lively.

CHARACTERISTICS
Common Kestrels are widespread birds of prey; they are small compared with other raptors, but larger than most songbirds. Common Kestrels are mainly light chestnut brown in color with blackish spots on the upperside and buff with narrow blackish streaks on the underside; the remiges are also blackish. The males have fewer black spots and streaks and their cap and tail are blue-grey. The tail is brown with black bars in females and has a black tip with a narrow white rim in both sexes. All Common Kestrels have a prominent black malar stripe like their closest relatives. The cere, feet, and a narrow ring around the eye are bright yellow; the toenails, bill, and iris are dark. Juveniles look like adult females, but the underside streaks are wider; the yellow of their bare parts is paler.
RANGE AND HABITAT
Common Kestrels are found in Europe, Asia, and Africa. These birds are sedentary but in the cold parts of their range, they migrate south in winter. Common Kestrels live in open habitats such as tundra, taiga, grassland, shrubland, marshland, fields, and heaths. They can also be found in forested areas and readily adapt to human settlement, as long as sufficient swathes of vegetation are available. They also occur in wetlands, moorlands, arid savanna, and from the sea to the lower mountain range.
DIET
Common Kestrels are carnivores and eat almost exclusively small mammals such as voles, shrews, and true mice. They will also hunt birds, bats, swifts, frogs, lizards, and insects.
BEHAVIOR
Habits and Lifestyle
Common Kestrels are usually seen alone but sometimes may travel in small flocks and nests in loose colonies. These birds hunt by day hovering about 10-20 m (35-65 ft) above the ground, searching for prey, either by flying into the wind or by soaring using ridge lift. Like most birds of prey, Common Kestrels have keen eyesight enabling them to spot small prey from a distance. Once the prey is sighted, the bird makes a short, steep dive toward the target. They often hunt along the sides of roads and motorways. Another favorite (but less conspicuous) hunting technique is to perch a bit above the ground cover, surveying the area. When the bird spots prey animals moving by, it will pounce on them. They also prowl a patch of hunting ground in a ground-hugging flight, ambushing prey as they happen across it. Common Kestrels communicate with each other using various calls. When alarmed, they utter ‘kii-kii-kiikii’ and in flight, the birds produce a ‘kik-kik’ call.
Mating Habits
Common Kestrels are monogamous and form long-lasting pair bonds. They start breeding in April or May in temperate Eurasia and between August and December in the tropics and southern Africa. Common Kestrels nest in cavities, preferring holes in cliffs, trees, or buildings; in built-up areas, the birds will often nest on buildings and will reuse the old nests of other birds. Common Kestrels are usually solitary nesters but may sometimes nest in loose colonies. The female lays a clutch of 3 to 7 eggs. Incubation lasts around 4 weeks, and only the female incubates the eggs. The male is responsible for providing her with food, and for some time after hatching this remains the same. Later, both parents share brooding and hunting duties until the young fledge, after 4-5 weeks. The family stays close together for a few weeks, during which time the young learn how to fend for themselves and hunt prey. They become reproductively mature and are ready to breed for the first time by the next breeding season.

The Red Squirrel, a member of the Sciuridae, is an arboreal, omnivorous rodent often referred to as a Forest Seeder and folklore as the Devil King Squirrel.
The Arizona Gray Squirrel, also known as the American Gray Squirrel, is a member of the family Rodentia and Sciuridae. It is small in size, with gray fur and a belly between white and cream. It has long ears, no tufts of fur and a fluffy tail edged in white. The body is about 16-20 inches long and weighs up to 1.4 pounds.
The Rock Squirrel, also known as Sao Maozi or Stone Mouse, belongs to the rodent and is a species in the family Sciuridae. The most common natural predators of the Rock Squirrel include bobcats, owls, eagles and snakes. Though the Rock Squirrel is cute, alert, and courageous, it is still considered a pest due to its habit of destroying crops.
The Abert’s Squirrel is a member of the genus Sciurus with a body length of 18-22.8 inches, a tail length of 7.5-9.8 inches and a weight of 2.2 pounds, and can live up to 10 years in the wild. Its most distinctive feature is tassels of fur about 0.8-1.2 inches long at the tip of its ears, which looks very interesting. In addition, it is alert and agile.
Wild Georgia: Smallest Falcons Having a Banner Year in State
On a recent day, I watch as Maya Lapp carefully climbs a 10-foot ladder to reach a large bird box attached to a utility pole at the edge of the Fall Line Sandhills Wildlife Management Area in Taylor County in west central Georgia.
Lapp, a wildlife technician with Georgia’s Wildlife Resources Division, gingerly removes the box’s occupants, two baby Southeastern American kestrels, the smallest falcons in North America. They’re a subspecies of the American kestrel, also known as the “sparrow hawk.” She deposits the two chicks into a handbag.
She takes them to a pickup truck where a fellow wildlife technician, Henry Garcia, has laid out tools on the tailgate to clamp a small metal band onto each chick’s right leg.
Each band has a number that will be unique to that chick. It will be recorded in a database to help wildlife managers identify the bird as long as it lives. The data will help them determine strategies to increase survival of the Southeastern American kestrel, whose population has plummeted over the past few decades — mostly due to loss of its open forest habitat in which it nested in tree cavities.
Before returning the banded chicks to their nest, Lapp and Garcia also determine their age, sex and weight. They’re about 20 days old, about a week from fledging.
Under the supervision of senior wildlife biologist Nathan Klaus, Lapp and Garcia have banded more than 80 kestrel chicks this season from some 60 nest boxes erected by the Wildlife Resources Division and power companies to substitute for the birds’ natural cavities. “It’s a banner year for Georgia’s kestrels,” said Klaus. “To think that we were down to nine nests only a The strikingly beautiful Southeastern American kestrel (slightly smaller than a mourning dove) is nonmigratory, unlike its larger “northern” cousin, the American kestrel. It’s found in Georgia from the Fall Line to the Florida line — one of the Southeast’s few remaining populations. Hovering as it hunts, it forages for insects, grasshoppers, mice and other prey in open forests and grasslands.
