What sharp talons you have

A female American kestrel shows off her needle sharp talons while perched on a utility wire along a country road near Elkton in rural western Oregon on Thursday, March 24, 2021. There is a channel down the back of each talon to help their prey bleed out. The American kestrel is a mourning dove sized falcon found coast to coast in North America.
