Air Patrol

I was sitting on the deck, enjoying a beverage after doing some yard work when it happened.

Lightning quick, snatched in mid flight.

I had hoped it got one of those very annoying biting flies (it didn't).

And of course I went and got my camera.


A female Eastern Pondhawk had captured what appears to be a crane fly.

Now we have plenty of dragonflies patrolling our yard. But this is the first I'd ever seen a capture in mid flight. Very cool.


Although it happened so quickly I didn't really see it.


Now if they would just start eating the biting flies ...
