At the time there were no other raptors that would challenge the Kestrel for her prey, I wonder why it is eating the gopher with such haste :D?

Good one, Arash. May be wants to eat another one before someone else eats it!
Arash- The kestrel may not have been happy with the grip it had on the mouse, which is supposed to be a killing grip. If the mouse were still alive the kestrel perhaps reached down to nip the neck of the prey for the "killing blow".

Thanks John for the info.
