Found in a Taco Bell parking lot! Super lucky thing to come across!!
Referring specifically to the bird being eaten here. The merlin is a different observation :)

Australian Darter swallowing a fish from the lake
A large number of sailfin catfish were trapped in a shallow pool during the dry season. A family of otter seem to treat this as their personal supermarket. I watched a family of 7-10 otters massacre at least 20 catfish. The whole area stunk of rotting fish and there were carcasses everywhere.

This family of otters caught and ate at least 20 sailfin catfishes during the 30 min I watched them

With Valeri Ponzo. We left at 1445, when the weather was sunny and 92 degrees ("feels like" 105), with calm winds.
Val heard the frog squeal, then we saw it in the jaws of a Black Racer. It took maybe 10 minutes for the snake to completely swallow the frog, which puffed up. Once the snake "popped" the frog -- no, we did not hear a "pop" -- then it went down much faster. Still, a very sloppy, slimy mess.

Swallowing a Cuban Treefrog. Val heard the frog squeal, then we watched it puff up to avoid being swallowed. Eventually, the snake deflated it, and it went down much faster.
A very slimy and gooey mess.

Duplicating this for the "Who Eats Whom" project
It was amazing to watch a Pied-billed Grebe struggle with a large Procambarus clarkii (Red Swamp Crayfish), shake it and plunge underwater, then finally swallow it whole.

Being eaten by huntsman (then ants)
Consuming gecko
Shrike kill (Brown anole) impaled on a rose thorn
This oriole was eating a spotted lanternfly! I think it ate more than one of them. It held it between it's feet and whacked it with it's beak like it was a peanut. Then it rubbed it on a branch, and then swallowed it. It seemed to go back to the willow tree where the lanternflies gather.
