Green Jay Chasing Wasp

Description
This beautiful Green Jay was darting about, but it wasn't until I got home and looked at my photos on my computer that I saw the bug he had been chasing! That wasp was a tasty lunch, I bet. I love how intent the jay looks on catching his prey!
A brilliant green, yellow, and blue jay of the tropics, the Green Jay enters our US only in southern Texas. The birds travel in conspicuous family flocks through brushlands and forests, seeking insects, small vertebrates, and fruit to eat. Like other jays and crows, this species is an incredibly versatile forager equally comfortable at picking, gleaning, pouncing, and even flycatching. During the breeding season, from April through June, these garrulous birds settle down and become a bit quieter. Green Jays live in pairs or social groups at all seasons, communicating with each other with a bizarre variety of different calls.
Photo taken on March 3, 2021, in Southern Texas.
