Wow, what a superb image! Excellent work Chris. It does seem a bit unlikely that a Kestrel could have made the kill itself, but who knows for sure, assuming you didn't witness it. A rather special subspecies to have on your list too: Wiki says "Subspecies dacotiae is quite rare, numbering less than 1000 adult birds in 1990".
