This spotted flycatcher had just spotted a fly and was off. Just in case you are interested, he caught it.

Amazing photo..
And an amazing bird.. I have enough trouble swatting a fly while they're sitting still. I can't imagine running one down..

Nice gif Larry. 
They catch flies in mid-air, it's amazing to watch.

The lens has to take most of the credit. I used a Nikon 300mm 2.8 VR G and a Nikon 1.4 TC attached to a D2Xs body. There's just a touch of sharpening as that's usually the case with RAW images.
