This fellow however snagged a gourmet treat (for a bird) and decided to show off a little before returning to the nest. He was so very proud of the moth he had captured. Notice in the second photo how he puffs out his chest.

The Great Red Breasted Hunter
We have quite a few robins in our yard they are always very entertaining. This fellow more so than usual. The normal menu for our feathered friends of the red breasted persuasion is worms. At any given time there are two or three busily hunting around the yard for the juiciest earthworm they can tug out of the ground.

You seem to have so many different things in your yard, or just a great eye! What a cutie, these snaps are wonderful

Isn't it lovely to live amidst nature!I have a few wild birds that hop around my balcony and i feed them morn & eve.I have an owl that likes to perch up at night on the window.
With so many trees being cut these birds have nowhere to go....but drop by our homes.
HAVE a nice day.
A proud, handsome fella! I will try to participate in the Farmers' Market challenge of July 25th! So many memes to remember these days....
Wow...what a great capture!
Great catch! For both you and the rockin' robin!
Wow!!
Its a puurfect shot:)
Its really amazing,
BEAUTIFUL :)
Ditto what Anya said...perfect shot. Envy showed up when reading about Charmine's owl. Saw a huge roadrunner drinking out of the water tank. Does that count? lol
SQ!!! What a delightful photograph of your proud little hunter!! Someone in the nest is having a treat!! And we're having the treat of your photographic skill!! Thank you so much for sharing!! :D
We saw a sparrow catching a moth when we were in Istanbul. It was so impressive to watch the sparrow flying and swooping around. Of course, once it was caught, then umpteen other sparrows bundled in to try to take it away. Life is not fair.
That is an amazing photo and how proud this birdy is of his find.

Great shots of the robin.
You did an excellent job on capturing the great bird photos. You post is super. Thanks for visiting me as well.
Great shot. I enjoy bird photos and take many myself. I liked you Amelia Earhart quote as well.
Great shots! I love watching the robins. I've never been able to get one with a treat in its mouth.
You must have been very subtle to get such good shots without scaring the robin.
This post triggered my perma-grin. Excellent capture, my friend! Mother Nature sure has a way of bringing out the best in us. Thanks for sharing. I love it!
Wow, that's a big moth...it is something for him to be proud of!
