Head Over Heels

Took this photo when my husband and I were monitoring Purple Martin nests.

Open Wide!

We have a 12 gourd Purple Martin colony and, as landlords, perform regular nest checks. Dragonflies are a staple in the Purple Martin’s diet and we found this scene during a recent nest check. I took this image with my iPhone, which makes nest photos quick & easy. The baby martin consumed the whole dragonfly!
