Nature is brutal!

A patient American Kestrel waiting for the little ones to come home for dinner... I saw a Hawk by this little bird box the other day and wonder whether those where it's scratch marks on the face of the birdbox! Nov 21st, 2020. Lincoln CA. Nikon D850, 200-500@500mm, f/8, 1/640, ISO90. https://www.instagram.com/charleywraightphotography
