I had been in awe of beetles like this ever since I saw them in a museum tray many years ago, but suffice it to say that when I encountered this one in the field for the first time, it was..."glorious"!

It looks like the larger fish has a second, smaller fish, in its mouth. The GBH made several attempts to swallow this fish before finally succeeding.

Yes, I went birding in the below freezing weather- it wasn't too bad as long as the wind wasn't blowing. The birds were quite active although they didn't necessarily want to stand still and pose. LLELA- Cottonwood Trail

What a nice morning -- big time thanks to Taylor for letting me check out the black-throated blue warbler that's sticking around his place. Stopped briefly at Harry Moss Park too.
