This is so amazing. They almost don't look real! They are skilled predators, but looks so darn cute!

Gorgeous birds, beautiful romantic scene. I never knew they caught things as big as voles until I saw one catch a vole in Marana, Arizona, and then fly up to an electric wire, where I was able to get his picture. Your species is different from ours, and colored a bit differently. Ours is American Kestrel. He's our smallest raptor.

Thank you so much Pat Goltz for your very nice comment and choice of favorite! Our smallest raptor is the Eurasian Pygmy Owl 15-19 cm. Our Kestrel is 31-37 cm.

She looks a bit curious, maybe her eyes are telling you that you may not have her treat! This image is unfathomably great in my humble opinion. In any every way, the detail, the composition, and the sweetness it oozes. Beautiful work.
