It’s been a while since I’ve posted one of my favorite subjects: soggy raptors. While most raptors hunker down to the best of their ability in the rain, American Kestrels will happily hunt in light to moderate rains. I assume their small bodies and high metabolisms means they can’t go that long between meals. Or maybe Jerusalem Crickets, one of their favorite prey items, are particularly active in the rain.
