PROSPECTUS

                              KESTREL ENERGY, INC.

                                1,005,000 SHARES
                                  COMMON STOCK
                                335,000 WARRANTS
                              --------------------

      This prospectus relates to 1,005,000 shares of common stock and 335,000
warrants that may be sold from time to time by the selling shareholder named in
this prospectus. The shares offered include 670,000 currently outstanding shares
and 335,000 shares for exercise of warrants issued in a private placement by us
in June 2003. The warrants entitle the holder to purchase an equal number of our
shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share.

      The offering is not being underwritten. The offering price of our common
stock that may be sold by the selling shareholder may be the market price for
our common stock prevailing at the time of sale, a price related to the
prevailing market price, a negotiated price or such other prices as the selling
shareholder determines from time to time. The warrants do not have an
established trading market and will not be listed on any securities exchange.
The offering price for the warrants that may be sold by the selling shareholder
may be the market price, if a market develops, a negotiated price or such other
prices as the selling shareholder determines from time to time.

      We will receive up to $167,500 upon the exercise of the warrants by the
selling shareholder based upon an exercise price of $0.50 per share. We will not
receive the proceeds from the sales of our common stock or the warrants by the
selling shareholder.

      Our common stock is traded on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol
"KEST." On March 23, 2004, the last reported sale price of our common stock was
$0.60 per share.

        INVESTING IN OUR COMMON STOCK INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. YOU
         SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE RISK FACTORS BEGINNING ON PAGE 3.

                                  RISK FACTORS

WE MUST CONTINUE TO EXPAND OUR OPERATIONS

      Our long term success is ultimately dependent on our ability to expand our
revenue base through the acquisition of producing properties and, to a much
greater extent, by successful results in our exploration efforts. We will need
to continue to raise capital to make additional acquisitions and to make further
investments in our current portfolio of exploration properties. We have made
significant investments in exploration properties in the Green River Basin in
Wyoming. There is no assurance that any of these acquisitions or investments or
any other acquisitions or investments in the future will be successful. In fact,
while we have already made some measure of success with these acquisitions, we
have also had some disappointments. All of our exploration projects are subject
to failure and the loss of our investment.

PRICES OF OIL AND NATURAL GAS FLUCTUATE WIDELY BASED ON MARKET CONDITIONS AND
ANY DECLINE WILL ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION

      Our revenues, operating results, cash flow and future rate of growth are
very dependent upon prevailing prices for oil and gas. Historically, oil and gas
prices and markets have been volatile and not predictable, and they are likely
to continue to be volatile in the future. Prices for oil and gas are subject to
wide fluctuations in response to relatively minor changes in the supply of and
demand for oil and gas, market uncertainty and a variety of additional factors
that are beyond our control, including:

   o  the strength of the United States and the global economy;
   o  political conditions in the Middle East and elsewhere;
   o  the supply and price of foreign oil and gas;
   o  the level of consumer product demand; o the price and availability of
      alternative fuels;
   o  the effect of federal and state regulation of production and
      transportation; and
   o  the proximity of our natural gas to pipelines and their capacity.

WE MUST REPLACE THE RESERVES WE PRODUCE

      Even though we have recently removed a substantial amount of proved
undeveloped reserves attributable to the Greens Canyon Project in Wyoming, a
substantial portion of our oil and gas properties are proved undeveloped
reserves. Successful development and production of such reserves cannot be
assured. Additional drilling will be necessary in future years both to maintain
production levels and to define the extent and recoverability of existing
reserves. There is no assurance that our present oil and gas wells will continue
to produce at current or anticipated rates of production, that development
drilling will be successful, that production of oil and gas will commence when
expected, that there will be favorable markets for oil and gas which may be
produced in the future or that production rates achieved in early periods can be
maintained.

                                      -3-



THERE ARE MANY RISKS IN DRILLING OIL AND GAS WELLS

      The cost of drilling, completing and operating wells is often uncertain.
Moreover, drilling may be curtailed, delayed or canceled as a result of many
factors, including title problems, weather conditions, shortages of or delays in
delivery of equipment, as well as the financial instability of well operators,
major working interest owners and well servicing companies. Our gas wells may be
shut-in for lack of a market until a gas pipeline or gathering system with
available capacity is extended into our area. Our oil wells may have production
curtailed until production facilities and delivery arrangements are acquired or
developed for them.

WE FACE INTENSE COMPETITION

      The oil and natural gas industry is highly competitive. We compete with
others for property acquisitions and for opportunities to explore or to develop
and produce oil and natural gas. We have previously formed acquisition joint
ventures with several other companies, including Victoria Petroleum N.L. and
other affiliates, which have allowed us more access to acquisition candidates
and to share the evaluation costs with them. We face strong competition from
many companies and individuals with greater capital, financial resources and
larger technical staffs. We also face strong competition in procuring services
from a limited pool of laborers, drilling service contractors and equipment
vendors.

THE AMOUNT OF INSURANCE WE CARRY MAY NOT BE SUFFICIENT TO PROTECT US

      We, our partners, co-venturers and well operators maintain general
liability insurance but it may not cover all future claims. If a large claim is
successfully asserted against us, we might not be covered by insurance, or it
might be covered but cause us to pay much higher insurance premiums or a large
deductible or co-payment. Furthermore, regardless of the outcome, litigation
involving our operations or even insurance companies disputing coverage could
divert management's attentions and energies away from operations. The nature of
the oil and gas business involves a variety of risks, including, but not limited
to, the risks of operating hazards such as fires, explosions, cratering,
blow-outs, adverse weather conditions, pollution and environmental risks,
encountering formations with abnormal pressures, and, in horizontal wellbores,
the increased risk of mechanical failure and collapsed holes, the occurrence of
any of which could result in substantial losses to us. The occurrence of a
significant event that is not fully insured could have a material adverse effect
on our financial condition and results of operations.

OUR SUCCESS MAY BE DEPENDENT ON OUR ABILITY TO RETAIN BARRY LASKER AND BOB
PETT AS KEY PERSONNEL

      We believe that the oil and gas exploration and development and related
management experience of our key personnel is important to our success. The
active participation in the Company of our president, Barry D. Lasker and

Robert J. Pett, our chairman, is a necessity for our continued operations. We
have an employment contract with Mr. Lasker which currently expires August 14,
2004, and renews automatically each May 14 for an additional year if neither
party gives timely notice of intent to terminate. We do not have key person life
insurance on

                                      -4-



either Mr. Lasker's or Mr. Pett's lives. We compete with bigger and better
financed oil and gas exploration companies for these individuals and other
qualified personnel. Our future success may depend on whether we can attract,
retain and motivate highly qualified personnel. We cannot assure you that we
will be able to do so.

OUR RESERVES ARE UNCERTAIN

      Estimating our proved reserves involves many uncertainties, including
factors beyond our control. Our annual report on Form 10-KSB for fiscal year
2003 contained estimates of our oil and natural gas reserves and the future cash
flow to be realized from those reserves for fiscal years 2003 and 2002, as
prepared by our independent petroleum engineers, Sproule Associates Inc. There
are uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of proved oil and natural
gas reserves since petroleum engineering is not an exact science. Estimates of
commercially recoverable oil and gas reserves and of the future net cash flows
from them are based upon a number of variable factors and assumptions including:

   o  historical production from the properties compared with production from
      other producing properties;
   o  the effects of regulation by governmental agencies;
   o  future oil and gas prices; and
   o  future operating costs, severance and excise taxes, abandonment costs,
      development costs and workover and remedial costs.

GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION, ENVIRONMENTAL RISKS AND TAXES COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT
OUR OIL AND GAS OPERATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES

      Our oil and natural gas operations in the United States are subject to
regulation by federal and state government, including environmental laws. To
date, we have not had to expend significant resources in order to satisfy
environmental laws and regulations presently in effect. However, compliance
costs under any new laws and regulations that might be enacted could adversely
affect our business and increase the costs of planning, designing, drilling,
installing, operating and abandoning our oil and gas wells and other facilities.
Additional matters that are, or have been from time to time, subject to
governmental regulation include land tenure, royalties, production rates,
spacing, completion procedures, water injections, utilization, the maximum price
at which products could be sold, energy taxes and the discharge of materials
into the environment.

THE MARKET FOR OUR STOCK MAY BE HIGHLY VOLATILE

      Our stock is currently traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, but there has
historically been a relatively low volume of trading in the shares.
Consequently, the price at which the shares trade may be highly volatile. We
were delisted on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market, Inc. on April 8, 2003 because our
stock traded below the minimum $1.00 share requirement for too long a period of
time. Under current rules our stock will be listed on the OTC Bulletin Board as
long as we continue to file our reports with the SEC. The change to the OCT
Bulletin Board may have reduced the liquidity of our stock which, in turn, may
adversely affect its trading price.

                                      -5-



THE SALE OF THE SHARES BY THE SELLING SHAREHOLDER COULD HAVE AN ADVERSE
IMPACT ON OUR STOCK

      The selling shareholder is not restricted as to the price or prices at
which it may sell its shares. Sales of its shares at less than the market prices
may depress the market price of our stock. Moreover, the selling shareholder is
not restricted as to the number of shares which may be sold at any one time, and
it is possible that a significant number of shares could be sold at the same
time which may depress the market price of our stock. The outstanding shares
being offered by the selling shareholder represents approximately 6.8% of our
current outstanding shares.

                           FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

      This prospectus contains one or more statements, which state or otherwise
indicate the Company's present belief or expectation concerning future events.
Such statements are forward looking statements on which investors should not
rely because they are subject to a wide variety of contingencies and based on a
number of assumptions, which may not prove to be true. In particular, the
Company's future success is highly dependent on the success of its exploratory
drilling efforts, which cannot be safely predicted. In addition, the Company is
highly dependent upon prevailing prices for petroleum products, its ability to
attract and retain qualified personnel, as well as other risk factors affecting
business generally, such as overall economic conditions, changes in tax and
other laws and the effect of actions taken by competitors and regulatory
authorities. You should also remember that these statements are made only as of
the date of this prospectus and future events may cause them to be less likely
to prove to be true.

                                  OUR BUSINESS

      Our principal business at this time is the acquisition, either alone or
with others, of interests in proved developed producing oil and gas leases, and
exploratory and developmental drilling in the United States. Additionally, we
own working interests, which are expense bearing interests, in proved developed
producing and proved undeveloped oil and gas leases that are not operated by us,
in several areas in the United States. Proved developed reserves are oil and gas
reserves which can be expected to be recovered through existing wells with
existing equipment and operating methods. Proved undeveloped reserves are oil
and gas reserves which can be expected to be recovered from new wells on
undrilled acreage or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is
required for recompletion. Normally we use existing working capital and cash
flow for the development of our exploration and development properties. However,
we have in the past obtained debt and equity financing to fund our development
efforts and expect to do so again in the future.

      We presently own oil and gas interests in the states of Louisiana, New
Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas and Wyoming.

      We were incorporated in Colorado on November 1, 1978 as Tanner Pruitt
Exploration, Inc. In March 1995, we changed our name to Kestrel Energy, Inc. Our
offices are located at 1726 Cole Boulevard, Suite 210, Lakewood, Colorado 80401,
and our telephone number is (303) 295-0344.

                                 USE OF PROCEEDS

      We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the common stock offered
by the selling shareholder pursuant to this prospectus. We will receive proceeds
if the selling shareholder exercises its warrants to purchase common stock. If
the selling shareholder were to exercise all its warrants, we would receive
gross proceeds of $167,500. When and if we receive these funds, they will be
used for general corporate purposes. As there is no assurance that any or all of
the warrants will be exercised, we are unable to predict the amount to be used
for such purposes.

                               SELLING SHAREHOLDER

      The shares offered pursuant to this prospectus have been or will be issued
to the selling shareholder (or its assignees) directly by us. The selling
shareholder purchased units consisting of common stock and warrants in a private
placement of our securities pursuant to a Private Placement Memorandum dated
June 1, 2003, under Regulation S to non-U.S. residents of Canada, Europe and
Australia. The selling shareholder is an accredited investor as that term is
defined in Rule 501(a) of the Act. We agreed to file this registration statement
for the resale of the shares purchased in the offering, the sale of the
warrants, and the sale of the shares underlying the warrants. We agreed to bear
all out-of-pocket expenses of this offering, other than underwriting discounts
and selling commissions. The selling shareholder may sell none, some, or all of
the common stock offered by it as listed below.

                                      -8-



      The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the
beneficial ownership of shares of our common stock by the selling shareholder as
of the date of this prospectus and the number of shares which may be offered
pursuant to this prospectus for the account of the selling shareholder or its
transferees from time to time.

      The table assumes:

   o  the exercise of all the unit warrants beneficially owned by the
      selling shareholder at the exercise price and for the maximum number
      of shares permitted as of the date of this prospectus;

   o  that the selling shareholder will sell all shares of common stock
      offered pursuant to this prospectus; and

   o  that the selling shareholder will sell all the unit warrants to
      purchase common stock offered pursuant to this prospectus.

(1)   By the terms of the warrant issued to Nieuport Pty Ltd, the warrant is
      only exercisable by Nieuport if and to the extent that, on the date of any
      exercise or attempt to exercise the warrant, Nieuport is not the
      beneficial owner (within the meaning ascribed to that term by Section
      13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and has
      not been the beneficial owner of more than 8.99% of our common stock
      (calculated as required by Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) for a period
      of 60 days prior to the date of such exercise or attempted exercise.

      To the best of our knowledge, the selling shareholder does not have any
position, office or other material relationship with us or any of our
affiliates.

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

      The securities, shares of common stock and warrants, offered hereby may be
sold by the selling shareholder or by its pledgees, donees, transferees or other
successors in interest. Such sales may be made at fixed prices that may be
changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to
such prevailing market prices, or at negotiated prices. The securities may be
sold by one or more of the following:

   o  one or more block trades in which a broker or dealer so engaged will
      attempt to sell all or a portion of the shares held by the selling
      shareholder as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block
      as principal to facilitate the transaction;

                                      -9-



   o  purchase by a broker or dealer as principal and resale by such broker
      or dealer as principal and resale by such broker or dealer for its
      account pursuant to this prospectus;

   o  ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker
      solicits purchasers; and

   o  privately negotiated transactions between the selling shareholder and
      purchasers without a broker-dealer.

      The selling shareholder may effect such transactions by selling the
securities to or through broker-dealers, and such broker-dealers will receive
compensation in negotiated amounts in the form of discounts, concessions,
commission or fees from the selling shareholder and/or the purchasers of the
securities for whom such broker-dealers may act as agent or to whom they sell as
principal, or both (which compensation to a particular broker-dealer might be in
excess of customary commissions). Such brokers or dealers or other participating
brokers or dealers and the selling shareholder may be deemed to be
"underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, in connection
with such sales. Except for customary selling commissions in ordinary
transactions, any such underwriter or agent will be identified, and any
compensation paid to such persons will be described, in a prospectus supplement.
In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus that qualify for sale
pursuant to Rule 144 might be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this
prospectus.

      To comply with some states' securities laws, if applicable, the securities
may be offered or sold by the selling shareholder in such jurisdictions only
through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states
the securities may not be offered or sold by the selling shareholder unless they
have been registered or qualified for sale in such states or an exemption from
registration or qualification is available and is complied with.

ITEM 14.    OTHER EXPENSES OF ISSUANCE AND DISTRIBUTION

      The following table shows the estimated expenses to be incurred in
connection with the issuance of the securities being registered by us:

      Registration Fee--Securities and Exchange Commission........$    77
      Printing and Mailing Costs and Fees.........................$ 1,000
      Accountants' Fees and Expenses .............................$ 5,000
      Legal Fees and Expenses.....................................$10,000
      Miscellaneous...............................................$ 3,923
                                                                  -------
      Total Costs.................................................$20,000
                                                                  =======

All of the above expenses except the SEC registration fee are estimated.

ITEM 15.    INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

      The Colorado Business Corporation Act provides at Article 109 for
indemnification by a corporation of officers and directors in connection with
proceedings brought against them by reason of their position with the
corporation the person being indemnified must, in civil matters, have acted in
good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed
to the best interests of the corporation. In criminal matters, indemnification
is permitted where the person had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her
conduct was unlawful. Indemnification is required (unless limited by a
corporation's Articles of Incorporation) where the officer or director is wholly
successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding. The
Act also establishes procedures by which persons seeking indemnification can
obtain cost advances from the corporation and procedures by which
indemnification determinations can be made.

      Article VI of our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation requires
us to indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law against all
liability and expense, including attorneys' fees, incurred by reason of the fact
that a person is or was a director or officer of our company.

      Article V of our Amended and Restated Bylaws contains provisions requiring
indemnification by us of officers and directors where the person seeking
indemnification acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in
the best interest of our company and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
Indemnification by us is also required in connection with derivative actions
where the party seeking indemnification is found to have acted in good faith and
in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the best interest of our company.
Finally, indemnification is required where the officer or director seeking
indemnification has been successful on the merits in the defense of the action.
The Bylaws also contain provisions setting forth procedures by which parties
seeking indemnification may obtain payment in advance of expenses incurred by
them.

                                      II-1



      The above discussion of the Colorado Business Corporation Act, our Amended
and Restated Articles of Incorporation and our Amended and Restated Bylaws is
intended to be only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the full text
of each of the foregoing.

ITEM 17.    UNDERTAKINGS

      We undertake:

      (a)   To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
a post- effective amendment to this registration statement:

            (i) to include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act");

            (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which,

                                      II-2



individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in the registration statement; and

            (iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan
of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any
material change to such information in the registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(i) and (a)(ii) do not apply if the
registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, and the information required
to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
periodic reports filed by us pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") that are incorporated by
reference in the registration statement.

      (b)   That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

      (c)   To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.

      (d)   For the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as a part of this
registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of
prospectus filed by us pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the
Securities Act shall be deemed to be a part of this registration statement as of
the time it was declared effective.

      (e)   For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.

      (f)   We hereby undertake that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act, each filing of our annual report pursuant to section
13(a) or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, and, where applicable, each filing
of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act, that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

      Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant
to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling person of our company in the successful defense
of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by that director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will,
unless in

                                      II-3



the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

                                      II-4
