Observation details
Photos and video. We had the privilege of watching this individual catch insects from the ground for some 15 minutes. The bird perched low at the base of tree trunks, only a foot or less off the ground. When an unsuspecting insect was spotted in the leaf litter, it would drop down and catch its prey, then bounce back up to a new trunk. The bird did this for several minutes while we stood mesmerized by the spectacle.
