It's always better to be lucky, this Male Kestrel caught a mouse and then landed right off the 2 track road I was on. Slowly backing up and positioning my vehicle as a blind provided at least a 100 shots.

Great pose and light, Terry. The prey is certainly a bonus. Well done!

Sweet soft light, nice bird position, and the prey and angle is excellent.
Great catch!
