baby kingbird has a dragonfly for lunch

the same two kingbirds but the one on the left (the parent) has turned their head and the one on the right has closed their beak around the dragonfly more
the same to kingbirds but the parent kingbird has turned away from the camera and the child kingbird is looking in their direction still with a mouthful of dragonfly, wings protruding from their mouth
the same two kingbirds but the parent has turned away from the child again and the child kingbird has their mouth open in the direction of their parent revealing the dragonfly moving further down their throat

two grey and white eastern kingbirds sitting on a branch. the one on the right has their beak wide open and head tipped back as they swallow a large dragonfly with clear and light blue wings. the inside of their bright orange beak is visible. the one on the left is facing away from the camera and the one on the right is facing towards it

    @loren Oh my goodness, that's a big bite. In the early photos, the dragonfly wings look like really dramatic eyelashes.
