      What a phenomenal picture. Of course you only publish the phenomenal ones. The photographer in me wants to know how many hit the cutting room floor before this one!

      Merry, Merry,

    Being from Minnesota I don’t think of American Kestrels as being lizard-eaters, but this urban Kestrel in Brownsville, Texas made a meal of this Cuban Brown Anole. It took him a long time to kill and eat the lizard though. [Brownsville, Texas; January 2023] #americankestrel #preyofkestrel #raptoreatinglizard #lizardeatingraptor #sparkystensaas #brownsvilletexas
