Watercolor painting of a kestrel bird. The bird is predominantly beige and light brown, with darker brown accents on its wings and tail. The tail feathers are depicted with a dynamic, slightly blurred effect, suggesting movement. The bird's head is a lighter shade of brown, with hints of gray and yellow. The beak is a pale yellow, and the eye is dark. The overall style is realistic, capturing the bird's texture and details with watercolor washes and fine lines.
