Articles for creation

Hello and welcome to my userpage! I'm Kentuckian, I am from southeast Kentucky in the beautiful Appalachian Mountains. As an Eastern Kentuckian I like to create and improve articles on Appalachia (app-a-latch-uh) and Kentucky, to help improve coverage of a neglected area in the United States. One of my favorite pastimes is reverting vandalism, but you may also find me reviewing new pages and pending changes. I also occasionally do image restorations. I usually restore images relating to Appalachian history and politics, but I will occasionally dabble in other areas as well.

If you want to know more about me you can look at my userboxes.

Cool stuff

Mauritius kestrel
The Mauritius kestrel (Falco punctatus) is a bird of prey in the family Falconidae endemic to the forests of Mauritius, where it is restricted to the southwestern plateau's forests, cliffs, and ravines. It colonized the island and evolved into a distinct species from other Indian Ocean kestrels, probably during the Gelasian or Early Pleistocene periods. The Mauritius kestrel can reach a size between 26 and 30.5 centimetres (10.2 and 12.0 inches), with a mass of up to 250 grams (8.8 ounces) and rounded wings with a span of approximately 45 centimetres (18 inches). Males are slightly smaller than the females. It is a carnivorous bird, eating geckos, dragonflies, cicadas, cockroaches, crickets, and small birds. It hunts by means of short, swift flights through the forests. In 2022, it was proclaimed the Mauritian national bird to mark the 30th anniversary of the Republic of Mauritius. This Mauritius kestrel was photographed in the Ebony Forest near the village of Chamarel.Photograph credit: Charles J. Sharp
