American Kestrel

I love these small raptors.  They are actually the smallest and most common falcons in North America, about the size of a Mourning Dove.  Because of him, I don't have an entry for Silly Saturday today, but he was too pretty to pass up!  Thanks anyway to Admirer for hosting!

I am grateful for the lovely walk today with Piper and her dad.  We played a dirty trick on Miss Piper, though, by taking her to get her way too long nails clipped before the walk.  But she soon forgot about because she got a new bone and nice long walk on a beautiful day. :-)
