And the winner of the What was the dragonfly in the Flycatcher's bill Sweepstakes is . . .

James O'Brien! Http://www.yojimbot.blogspot.com Even before my designated expert had a chance to respond, James sent in the following note:

I was with Bruce when he took the pic and had seen it snag that dragonfly on the wing. I was amazed how the Great Crested Flycatcher grabbed the Green Darner crosswise on the head to immobilize it. Anyway, I had no idea that gcfs would take such huge opponent out of the air but have seen lesser flycatchers attempt Carolina Saddlebags and I've seen Waxwings after Amberwings.
