Lunch Date with the Hawk Owl

It was kind of the Northern Hawk Owl to reserve a limb close to the roadway for his noon lunch.
Just as I arrived this owl took flight that seemed like he was on a mission…turned out he was.
The owl returned from a great distance (length of a football field to give you some idea) with a vole/mouse and proudly displayed its lunch…must say that spotting a vole at that distance is pretty impressive.

Cheers !
