Jasper and Mouse

Delicate morsel

This hawk is apparently often seen at the audubon reserve in Topsfield, MA and has been named Jasper by staff at the reserve. I happened upon him this morning just after he caught a mouse. I photographed him for about 45min so have so many pictures to go through,

For the first 10min or so fur was flying and then he devoured the mouse over the next 10min or so and flew off to a field where I was able to take a few more photos.
