Abstract

A Falco sparverius (American Kestrel) was observed attacking and carrying away a Picoides borealis (Red-cockaded Woodpecker) fledgling during observations associated with a long-term monitoring program on Fort Bragg Military Installation, Fort Bragg, NC. The woodpecker was released in mid-air approximately 100 m from the site of the attack and fell to the ground, alive. It is unknown if the American kestrel returned to consume the fledgling, or if the fledgling survived the encounter.
