Falcon Against A Snake

• Cuban Kestrel, Falco kurochkini (Late Pleistocene/Holocene of Cuba, West Indies)
• Falco chowi (China)
Several more paleosubspecies of extant species also been described; see species accounts for these.
"Sushkinia" pliocaena from the Early Pliocene of Pavlodar (Kazakhstan) appears to be a falcon of some sort. It might belong into this genus or a closely related one (Becker 1987). In any case, the genus name Sushkinia is invalid for this animal because it had already been allocated to a prehistoric dragonfly relative.
