Every Friday night on channel 8 out of Cleveland, Ohio, we used to watch Mushmouth Mariano Pacetti put a whole pizza in his mouth in like 13 seconds.
Well, not to be outdone, this female Boat-tailed Grackle put at least 6 dragonflies in her mouth to feed her chicks.
Sony a9, Sony 600mm f4 @ f5, ISO 320, 1/3200 sec. Topaz DeNoise and Sharpen AI applied.

Mary and I had a good laugh at your reference to Mushmouth, who we remember watching. He was an amateur compared to your pictured champ.

An outstanding shot to be sure. Very well composed and sharp. Well done. Not to be a jerk but there are no dragonflies in this picture. These are all damselflies.
