Tanagers are voracious insectivores, taking on huge bumblebees
and nasty hornets.
And here's a female.
Another striking bird is the Baltimore Oriole. This one came to the top of a tree when a RTH sailed over the Wildflower Meadow.
This one was displaying and making alarm calls at the ESO by the Point.
I was lucky enough to spot an Indigo Bunting in the meadow as well.
Here it hovered as it grabbed an insect on the wing.
A female towhee joined the party,
and a Savannah Sparrow.
I was also spotting large numbers of these guys, Red-Breasted Grossbeaks!
By the Meer, there was a feast on the wing...flycatcher!
Swallow!
and one of my favs, Eastern Kingbird!
Blah...
blarrrrgggghhh!
A close up shows the mass of insoluble insect chitin as well as the fine wiskers near the beak of all flycatchers.
His flyout!
Last but not least, I watched this awesome Green Heron fishing on the Island.
