Eastern Kingbird foraging for Odonata
https://entnemdept.ufl.edu/creatures/misc/odonata/odonata.htm
Behind this EKB, high up in a Red Maple there is a nest full of EKB babies with open mouths. *They need lots of insects.*
The EKB parent perches on low twigs at water's edge and makes foraging runs for Odonata. None of this happens until the Odonata nymphs begin ascending the aquatic plant stems.
The dragonfly nymph emerged early that morning and was out of its case before noon and airborne that day. One reference said the white tubes were the nymph's trachea (breathing tubes) that will pull out of the adult.
