I was over in the Bitterroot Valley this week and stopped in at the Lee Metcalf National Wildlife Refuge near Stevensville. It was a very productive stop, both days.  This very attractive bird caught my eye.

Part of the reason he caught my eye was he was hovering in one spot.

Eventually he landed on an old cattail.
It is an American Kestrel.
