American kestrel lands with its breakfast

Jumping back to last month and the awesome visit I had with this handsome fellow. He had just caught a meal, one which I suspect he was hoping to share with his mate. He was constantly calling, seeming to want to lure her with the promise that he could be a good provider. It did not, however, seem to work as she never did appear. However, he did give me some cool captures like this one. Not a good day for that mouse though.
