American Kestrel
The American Kestrel is a raptor that often perches on power lines along the road. Generally they give you only a second or so to grab a quick shot before they fly off after you pull over on the side of the road near one. That is, they give you a second or so if you're lucky. However, this particular Kestrel had caught a mouse and wasn't so quick to take off.
