Cedar Waxwing
Usually see Waxwings eating fruit. But it seems they eat insects as well. This pair was perching on tree stumps around a pond and flying in to pick off insects from the water surface or in flight.
From AllAboutBirds.org: Cedar Waxwings feed mainly on fruits year-round. In summer Cedar Waxwings supplement their fruit diet with protein-rich insects including mayflies, dragonflies, and stoneflies, often caught on the wing.
