Palm Warbler
I was waiting for the nesting Hawks to show up at the nest at Shark Valley, I had my lens wide open for maximum speed when this morsel saw this caterpillar walking on the grass and immediately proceeded to jump him, I was surprised that he proceeded to the railing with this mega catch, he/she could barely fly to the fence with it, He/she pecked at it a few times, not knowing how to proceed with such a large meal, All this was not lost to the other warbler who came running to share on the feast, The original warbler headed straight to the bushes with uninvited guest in tow!!! I know the DOF is paper thin and that the perch is not ideal, still due to his determination he/she deserves to be posted!!! Any and all comments welcome!!! D1x, Raw file, Lens=400mm afs/f/2.8, Aperture priority, Centered weighted metering, 1/4000 sec-f/2.8, ISO=200, Auto WB. No flash!!! [b]Alex Calzadilla[/b]
