Ottawa West

The warbler caught a small spider for lunch. Note the camo-colour of the spider to match the pine buds.

Well captured, very sharp and good composition.

Very nice photo of the Warbler having a meal for himself or maybe the babies.
The spiders coloring did not help him much the Pine Warblers eyes are perfect.

Cant fool a warbler. No matter how good your camouflage is. Great catch in more than one way Hank.

Awesome catch! Amazing how the birds can still see them!

A fine capture of this warbler, who is obviously smarter than the spider!

Too bad the camouflage didn't work for the spider but a smart warbler to get lunch. Great photo.

Tom Munson 29-Jun-2020 19:11
Awesome shot, Hank. The spider does match.
