Having breakfast

by Tony Wilcox
(Perth, Ontario, Canada)

I saw this bird this morning on a fencepost enjoying a small bird for breakfast.

I'm hoping someone can identify it for me.

Hmmm..... it looks like a Kestrel or a Peregrine Falcon to me - perhaps one of our readers will know for sure.

The hawk in this picture is a Merlin, the larger cousin to the American Kestrel and the smaller cousin of the Peregrine Falcon.
