Bird Eater - Click image to view larger image!

Thanks for viewing/comments! I think it's a Prarie Falcon but may be

someone can either confirm that or tell me it's a differnt type of bird than

what I think. - Thanks!

Wow, great shot Tm.  Pretty unique.

Thanks Janine! Glad that you find it ... unique :-) - Nature can be unique or ... gruesome  or ... repulsive but that's real life - C'est la vie! In the past month, I've seen a couple Kestrel eat some mice just like this and now this Falcon  ... I still am amazing of how they can digest the bones.

What a shot!

Wonderful shot, very unique.  It is a Merlin which is a small Falcon.

Thanks Christian!

Thanks Noncho!

Thanks Doug! Kind of hesitate/confuse between the Prarie Falcon and Merlin but now that you have confirm that it's a Merlin. Thank you very much!

Wow, what a shot!  Pretty gruesome, but real. 

Hope that falcon is able to swallow and digest that poor prey sooner.

Unique and original, Again, right place and exact timing..Love it.

another great picture, extraordinary the image of the leg out of his mouth, unique,ciao Giangiorgio

Tm...  Beautiful shot and great timing to get the third leg.  I'm not familiar with the Prairie Falcon or the Merlin, but this bird has many characteristics of the Cooper's Hawk which is also a bird eater.  Comparing the two I believe the Cooper's is larger with a longer tail.  Regardless, well done...

Thank you folks!

Michael, it's a lot of fun to shoot birds of prey (with a camera, of course) :-)

I prefer Wiener Schnitzel. About the bones: they don' t have to take Calcium tablets, it' s against allergy.

And invite them to leave guano on your garden. About rodents: food all in one. Except gall.

Who feeds them anyway? I will never eat another chicken.
