Nature moment: spider web as a dinner plate

My wife and I were hiking at Castle Rock State Park on Sunday and saw something new to me: a tiny bird (later identified as the chestnut-backed chickadee) eating insects caught in spider webs.

Pretty good trick, I thought. As long as you don't mind eating dead bugs covered with spider webs.
