Western Kingbird flips a pond hawk - 07-20-2008, 12:16 PM

This particular Kingbird love to perch on this stick, i watched him catching insect left and right and will back on the same perch over and over again. Unfortuntely, i didn't get the landing shot the way i like it. I noticed how it flipped a dragonfly the day before, but it's far to late due to the shutter delay when i saw it. So, the next day i was ready..... Bring on the Dragon, King!

Bare 500, 1/1600s, f7.1, m2n, iso 320
bean bag from car, green algae background.

Correction made on dragonfly ID, it's an Eastern Pond Hawk, thanks Greg for the ID

Burst at full speed, i let the machine gun do the talking as soon as i saw the dragonfly. :)24 shots in 3 seconds, and got 2 with catch on air.
