In late April at the Bosque I watched this western kingbird for quite some time having a good time with this dragonfly. At first the dragonfly fought back but, after a while, the kingbird won the battle and tossed the dragonfly in the air several times before he finally ate it.

Dan
agree with dan!! great timing and cool capture!
quite a behavior image Gayle......what a sweet bg too
Very nice! Did you add the vignetting along the top or was that part of the BG? Either way it does a lovely job of framing your subjects.
At the right place, at the right time...cool capture...:cool:
Really nice action shot here. great bg and exposure here well done
Great behavioral image, it must have been fun to watch!
Thanks, everyone. Julie, I didn't add the vignetting. The bird was perched on a small branch over the pond at the crossroads at the Bosque. I think the darker area was caused by the trees in the background.
