Best Answer

The American kestrel has adapted by having a strong, hooked beak that is used to tear flesh and crush bones of its small prey, like the Tree Swallow. Its short wings make it very maneuverable under the forest canopy.

These little eastern falcons fly into the wind and use wind shear to keep soaring without much flapping. Dynamic air currents aren't even all that noticeable to humans.
