I've been saying for days that Jays are a prety nasty species. This photo proves what I already knew. I have no idea how "she" caught the mouse, ( I'm sure it's the female of the pair), all I know is that she arrived on the log carrying it. I suspect that the mouse was feeding on the spilled seeds and peanuts from under the feeders in front of my hide and was caught unawares. It was a real bonus for me, not so good for the mouse, but a real photo opportunity proving yet again that if yoy have the time to put in you can see something really special by showing lots of patience.
Later on after flying away with it's meal, the male arrived to feed on the peanuts and again some great photo opportunities.
