An American Kestrel (aka sparrow hawk) delivers a mouse to the nest.

The mouse.

An American Kestrel with a small ring-necked snake.

This was the only snake I saw them bring to the nest in the many hours spent observing & photographing them. All of the rest of the prey I saw them return with appeared to be mice.

The catbirds are really going after the grapefruit here this spring. I got quite a few nice shots this past weekend. These are a couple of my favorites.

I saw my first oriole this weekend too, but have not seen one on the grapefruit yet.
