Females are responsible for most of the incubation and brooding, and engage in hunting after the mid-nestling stage. Here we studied the home range and the habitat use of the female Kestrel during the breeding season and compared with a male. From the spring to summer, the home range and habitat use of a pair of kestrels in Nakano City were investigated using radio-tracking method. We recorded the locations by the kestrels referring to information from radio-tracking onto a 1 : 3000 map. In 2020, the home range sizes of each individual of the kestrel pair were calculated using the minimum convex polygon method, the 95% kernel method, and the 50% kernel method as core areas. Home range of female were consisted of northern part including the core area and southern part. The northern one included a nesting site and rice fields with good foraging value. While the southern one had fruits gardens with lower value. The male had one small core area with a nesting site and a suitable using area, rice fields, which were included one home range. Fruits gardens including the southern home range of female showed low value of utilization, but future research and management suggested that they could become available foraging grounds., Article, 志賀自然教育研究施設研究業績(58) : 1-7(2021)}, pages = {1--7}, title = {長野県中野市で繁殖するチョウゲンボウメス個体の行動圏と環境利用}, volume = {58}, year = {2021} }
