Description
This spotted flycatcher nested in our garden (the first one for many years) and to my amazement when the eggs hatched and the parents started feeding the young they began bringing back butterflies, not just one or two but dozens; I counted 29 in one day! This was taken in my garden just a few yards from my door.
