Agelaius phoeniceus
This guy was so proud of his catch he just sat there and flaunted it. Insects are a major part of their diet.
Spotted at the edge of a wetland at Flaming Geyser State Park.

Great spotting! Even more - also the catch got an ID! Thanks for both! (:
Thank you Sukanya, DrNamgyalTSherpa, and Saturniidae27 for your kind comments.
Great spotting Brian! Looks like a tasty stonefly :-)
He or she is waiting there for you to go away, 'cause it doesn't want to reveal its nest where the babies are expecting those mouthfuls! Great photography Brian!
Great shot, Brian.
