Yum!
This is a photo of an Eastern Bluebird I captured just 4 days ago. It took me hiding out in the icy pool for 30+ minutes with my arms raised and head lowered, but I was finally able to get some decent shots.

Preparing to Land
This is the same Bluebird from my last photograph. If you've ever tried to photograph a bird in flight you'll know that shots like this are very special.

Welcome.....jumpingmaniac
I can't believe you submerged yourself in an icy pool to take those.... Well worth it when you see the results.

Just A Taste
The spider gave the caterpillar just a taste and then moved on. I found these guys on a milkweed plant last weekend.

Welcome to WildlifeGardeners, jumpingmaniac!
Great photos! I'm having a hard time deciding which one I like best, but, I must say the one in flight is rather stunning--great, unusual position of the wings. It sounds like you were quite dedicated in getting those pictures...well worth it, I'm sure.

Interesting that it only tasted it. I'm assuming the caterpillar was left relatively unharmed by the encounter?

I am less certain on the crab spider, as I cannot see its dorsum, and there are members of at least three genera that can have a similar appearance. It likely was ‘put off’ by the caterpillar’s spiky armature...

All great photos but I especially love the spider and the caterpillar. Great capture, oxeyed.
I just returned from 3 days camping in NH. It's just possible that you'll soon see some of the 600 pictures I took while up there.
