Kirby the Kestrel is an American Kestrel (sometimes called a falcon or sparrow hawk) that frequents Target Field, Minneapolis, Minnesota. Named after the late Kirby Puckett, This Kestrel amuses fans at Minnesota Twins games by hunting insects while perched at the top of the right field foul pole. Baseball fans cheer whenever Kirby is successful in his hunt or whenever the bird is showcased on the large screen in the outfield. Kirby is fast becoming an unofficial mascot by Twins fans. -wikipedia

Thanks, Gerny! The other "Kestral" is an arch-foe to Hawk and Dove and member of Team Target X ! Kestrel essentially has very similar powers to Hawk, but boosted considerably. It has claws that can cut through steel and enhanced by magic so hypothetically could cut Supermans flesh. In all it manifestations, it has displayed a variety of skills including acrobatics, hand-to-hand combat, tracking, impressive stamina, superior strength, and a near invulnerability to physical harm !

His name is Justin Moth-No! He is the twins mascot. He likes non-salted sunflower seeds and red licorice. He answers to the name "Justin"... Try and call to him as he soars overhead, and he might come to you!

Good one, bambam,lol! I like to call him Pete Falcon, named after a Twins pitcher they drafted in the 13th round of the 1972 baseball draft ! ! !

Dear Flo,

I'm not a professional. The song, "Centerfield", is the best baseball song ever written. I thought is was a funny coincidence that DC Comic's "Kestral" is a member of Team Target X , has claws that can cut through steel and enhanced by magic so hypothetically could cut Supermans flesh. He has a variety of skills including acrobatics, hand-to-hand combat, tracking, impressive stamina, superior strength, and a near invulnerability to physical harm.
