Title: Humber river Trail- Eastern Kingbird with Pellet

Hi, I caught these this morning. Quite exciting, I thought it was yawning, and realized it's even better when I looked at the photos I took.

I can only upload three pics at a time. At the end, his pose was usual too. He said, sorry you had to see that.

Wow, what a timing of a capture and this is something that I haven't seen. Looks like a lot of these birds (I guess anybody feeding on insects or other animal) seem to eject pellet and not just the raptors. The other day I saw an Eastern Meadowlark doing the same in Carden Alvar. This time I was slow to respond and missed the moment.

I was lucky. The dead tree in my neighbor's back yard attracts all kinds of birds.
