Female American Redstart catching a mosquito.
Done at Wabukayne Park - Mississauga

Till I get this picture, I was always wondering what warblers catch when they jump so fast from branch to branch. They catch mosquitoes.
The picture is below my standard as quality and I apologize for that, but I thought it worth posting it.

Dear Mario,
Very well captured moment & POV. Bravo.

Hi Mario,
It's worth the posting as can appreciate the challenge here... How often would one see a bird capturing an insect in flight? Almost never..
I know you take terrific photos so no need to apologize..
:)

great moment

Wicked catch Mario. It almost looks like a Philadelphia Vireo from that angle. It's great to see the mosquito attack. TFS Trevor
