Kestrel

I noticed a shrike sitting on my bird feeders in the morning but before I could get my camera, it had flown.  On the walk I saw this bird in trees along the driveway and assumed it was the shrike again.  When I downloaded the pic I saw instead that it was a kestrel.  This morning Dunder slipped out the door when I let Indy out.  I couldn't recapture Dunder immediately since breakfast was on the stovetop.  A few minutes later I stepped back out on the deck and called for the cat.  He came running but w/ a dead vole in his mouth.   All in all ...the rodents of the meadow need to watch out.
