2016 Wildlife Photo Contest

Junco hyemalis/Dark Eyed Junco, WESTERN NEW YORK, United States
Dinner for the Young Un's

Species: Junco hyemalis/Dark Eyed Junco | Location: WESTERN NEW YORK, United States

I was hoping to catch a decent shot of an Indigo bunting when it flew out of sight. I saw this Junco flitting around and when it landed, I snapped this lucky shot (as later discovered) of the Junco with the "Mosquito Eater" (crane fly) in its beak.

About The Photographer

Longtime amateur photographer. I enjoy being outdoors, shooting nature as not seen by most and wildlife when I can get it.
