Black Phoebe's are used to snatching bugs out of the air so it's a snap for
them to grab a mealworm from a dish without even stopping. When they're
flying around my yard in the afternoons I can hear their beaks snapping shut
on happless insects who had no chance to escape. If I could ever figure out
a way to picture that I'd really have something.
