American Kestrel enjoys its lunch

February 28, 2015 by Tony Leave a Comment

Don’t let their size fool you – These little falcons can be quite ferocious, like any raptor , as this mouse has just learned. Today I was lucky enough to come across this male Kestrel right after it had caught its lunch. It proceeded to devour it quite rapidly.

Scroll down to view the complete gallery of images.
