The studies are Nu-Sun Cinema's interpretation of American Kestrel

 behavior in our designated research area.

Based on ten years of detailed observations we've seen variations of 1 to 20 days between the gender first sightings. When the male arrived first there have been 1 to 6 days between the male and female sighting, for an average of 3 days. When the female arrived first there have been 1 to 20 days between the female and male first sighting, for an average of 7 days. Since there was only one year with 20 days of separation, we can hypothesis that this number of days is an anomaly. However, further years of data collection will be needed to test this assumption. These details pertain to our research area only.
