Eye on the Prize

"Cactus Wren - Eye on the Prize" by Patti Deters. This little Cactus Wren (Campylorhynchus brunneicapillus) was foraging around on the piece of desert driftwood, sometimes called ghostwood, when all of a sudden she became very still. Very soon a flying insect buzzed into the camera frame and the desert wren eyed it carefully watching its every move until quickly reaching out and grabbing the bee mid air and eating it for breakfast. Way to keep your eye on the prize! This little scene played out on a hiking trail in southwestern USA near Tucson, Arizona.
