Hunting From the Reeds

I was walking at the San Elijo Lagoon when I spotted a Black Phoebe perched on reeds next to the water. The bird would watch for bugs hovering above the water and then swoop down to catch them. I got this shot just as the bird was about to launch for another try.

This is such a lovely image!
This should be back memories from many a childhood and the exciting things we saw.
