Kingbird With Dragonfly Meal

I was photographing a Great Blue Heron along the Wildlife Drive, when this Kingbird landed to the right of me. I noticed it had caught a Dragonfly for a meal. I think the dragonfly was an Eastern Amberwing. The Kingbird was not close so I tried to get a little closer and I managed to get a quick shot before it flew off.

  Thanks! Plus the background was very clean with no distracting objects in the way.

Thanks Eliza! It was probably only there for 30 seconds or so.
