Dragonfly for Baby
This Red-necked Grebe chick is about to be given a dragonfly to eat. Food is always a good thing when you're growing fast, but because the birds don't pull the wings off of the dragonfly they have to swallow the darned thing whole. Maybe that's why the chick doesn't seem to be ready with it's beak open.
Taken 16 June 2022 in Anchorage, Alaska.
