When ever I saw one of the Manhattan birds eating or feeding their chicks, the food was always baby birds or sparrows. Each time I've seen a Governor's Island kestrel with food, it's been one of these:

The kestrels would perch in a high spot, like a pole, then dive down and scoop the insects up from the grass. This one takes a grasshopper to the top of a loudspeaker for lunch.


It's great to see these birds adapting and thriving in the city. They're beautifully tenacious little creatures.
