The Mauritius kestrel (Falco punctatus) is a bird of prey from the family Falconidae endemic to the forests of Mauritius, where it is restricted to the southwestern plateau's forests, cliffs, and ravines. It colonized the island and evolved into a distinct species from other Indian Ocean kestrels, probably during the Gelasian or Early Pleistocene periods. The Mauritius kestrel can reach a size between 26 and 30.5 cm (10.2 and 12.0 in), with a mass of up to 250 g (8.8 oz) and rounded wings with a span of approximately 45 cm (18 in). Males are slightly smaller than the females. It is a carnivorous bird, eating geckos, dragonflies, cicadas, cockroaches, crickets, and small birds. It hunts by means of short, swift flights through the forests. This Mauritius kestrel was photographed in the Ebony Forest reserve near Chamarel, Mauritius.Photograph credit: Charles J. Sharp
I am Chris Barna. I am a teenager living in San Diego, California. I have used wikipedia for quite a while but only started editing recently. I maintain a weblog at blog.unbrain.net. I currently attend High Tech High International as a sophomore.
I am very interested in computers, particularly Linux and Macintosh. I also like photography, surfing, sailing, and writing. I read an incredible amount of news for somebody my age and I would like to be a journalist when I get out of school.
