How to Flip a Grasshopper -- Indigo Bunting Style

I'd never seen a bird, much less a baby bird, flip an insect into the air and eat it. Hope you enjoy these pix as much as I enjoyed watching and photographing the scene.



Ok, I got it... Now what? It wiggles!
It was so much easier when Mom just fed me!


So much to remember...
No talking with my mouth full and
don't let lunch run away.

 
Hey! Is it supposed to do this? Hold still.

 



Here goes... and a ONE...

and a TWO...



Alley Oop!

Gulp!



OK! That was fun.
Is there anything ELSE to eat?

Where's Dad?  Dad?  Mom?
I'm hungry!


It's times like these when 8 frames per second is a very good thing.
End of the Indigo Bunting Saga
Thanks for stopping by.
