How to Tame a Dragonfly

Stopping by the Old Grand Avenue Bridge in Del Mar on the San Dieguito Lagoon, I spotted a Cassin's Kingbird chasing a dragonfly. I picked up my camera and followed him to the nearby telephone wire.





Landing on the telephone wire, the Cassin's Kingbird appears delighted to have captured this large dragonfly. Wonder how is he going to manage to swallow his huge prey? The following photos will show how the kingbird tamed his dragonfly and, with some maneuvering, how he managed to consume it.
































Have a great weekend everyone!
