Lunch


Juvenile Indigo Bunting with lunch.
While photographing butterflies, Monarchs, Eastern Tiger Swallowtails, Spice Bush Swallowtails and Fritillaries in my favorite Canaan Valley, WV spot, I heard and then found a Mom, Dad and fledgling Indigo Bunting. What a treat. The scene only lasted a minute or two. There were many branches in the way but it was fun. Here's the baby. He's not quite sure how to swallow that grasshopper without it flying away. Even though its wings are not yet expanded, it was trying to evade its fate.
