Observation details
Pair in thicket west of long pond. Never heard either of the birds call so possibly TRKI but habitat of dense thickets favors the COKI. Watched one fly to nearby branch and grab large caterpillar. Also saw it quickly open its mouth several times while it was perched. One of these times, a small beetle seemed to manifest in its open mouth. I am concluding that the bird was catching flying insects without leaving its perch!
