bluebird with leaf in creek (Explored)

            Day 34/365
Flickr Lounge: Photographer's Choice 

Notice here that the creek is bouncing reflections onto the bird as well as the bird reflecting in the creek. (My husband pointed out that even the eye catchlight managed to be reflected in the creek.) This is one of several eastern bluebirds that I thought were drinking but that were apparently hunting for prey. It was about 20 degrees Fahrenheit, so this would have been a cold activity, and I also didn't know bluebirds ever hunted in water. They seemed to be particularly looking at the leaves, much as they often do on the ground. Perhaps leaves with insects on them fell from the trees, or water insects seek the shelter of the leaves, or both. Whatever the scenario, I did photograph a few with prey.

Thank you for your views, faves, and comments!
