Meshaka et al. (2004, The Exotic Amphibians and Reptiles in Florida, Krieger Publishing) mentions one or more observations of Knight Anole depredation of Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, one instance of a Knight Anole biting a Mourning Dove (which escaped), and suggests depredation of nestlings of Eastern Screech-Owl and Purple Martins.
