Unlike the osprey roadkill, this kestrel seemed completely undamaged, but still very dead... I thought about taking it with me to give to something like a natural history museum, but decided against it. Instead I took just one flight feather to remember it by and kept it on the dashboard to help me remember to drive safe.
