Description
In my last upload, I showed a Mother Eastern Kingbird perched in a tree holding a grasshopper.
Mother flew to her hidden nest, fed her little chick, and is eyeing me cautiously. Baby is content with her grasshopper meal and is looking at me with curiosity.
Detail feathers better in zoom. Thanks very much for your views and comments.

Grass hopper take out :) Lovely shot Maria, thanks for sharing your experience with us.
you have lots of patience to get these superb photos of wild life and a steady hand for sure
Cool capture of baby bird, Maria, moments after ingesting the grasshopper. Good that the mother was gracious enough not to interfere with your photo efforts. And, hard for me to imagine anything so difficult to chew on and swallow than a rough, serrated-like creature like a skimpy grasshopper, but I suppose anything goes in nature.
What a wonderful view you've given us here! Fantastic photography!
very good shot
Wonderful capture of this cute little bird !!!
He will grow up thinking you are a normal part of any Kingbird's life! Super shot.
Great shot. Aloha
What a lovely little peek into these beautiful birds life.
Superb capture Maria. God bless.

Wonderful.
Wonderful capture, dear Maria. Sterling work. Hugs Di. xx
A suburb photo and zoom is a must!
he's already a big bird now!
