Caribbean Martin
Vegan Martin?
Current weather conditions on Aruba cause many items to blow through the sky, including small leaves of mangroves.
Aerial insect hunters like swallows, martins and nighthawks must often be distracted by this “noise in the menu”.
Sometimes they even accidentally catch small leaves, like this female Caribbean Martin.
Or did she become a vegetarian?

Great BIF shot! 1/4000th of a second stopped all the motion cleanly.
