ニュワス公園のいつもの場所にシロタイランチョウがいる。こちらを見たのかな、でも気にする様子はない。
There is a White Monjita perching on a twig in the usual place of Nu Guazu Park. Did the bird look at me?
But it does not seem to be shy of me.

木の枝から草原を見ていたが、急に飛び出し草原に向かいすぐ枝に戻った。小鳥は何か獲物をくわえているようだ。
The bird was watching a grassy plain from the branch of the tree, and then suddenly made a short sally flight
from a perch to there and came back to the branch. The bird seems to have some game in its beak.

小鳥は毛虫を飲み込んだ後、しばらく小枝で休んでいる。私は4月25日にもシロタイランチョウが毛虫をつかまえて食べるところを見た。
毛虫はこの小鳥の好物なのかもしれない。
After having swallowed the caterpillar, the bird takes a rest on the twig for a while.
I looked at the scene that the White Monjita caught a caterpillar and ate it on April 25, too.
Hairy caterpillar may also be its favorite food.

小鳥は何か獲物をくわえている。拡大して見ると毛虫のようだ。タイランチョウにとって毛虫も良い餌なのだろう。
The bird has some game in its beak. It is like a hairy caterpillar by looking at it by expanding the photo.
It will be also a good food for White Monjita.

小鳥は毛虫を一口で飲み込んだようだ。胸のあたりが明らかに膨らんでいる。ここまで1分以内の出来事です。
美味しかった、これで今日も元気元気、と言ったところかな。約2分後、小鳥は近くの草原に移動した。もうお腹の膨らみは見られない。
The small bird seemed to swallow the hairy caterpillar by a mouthful. The area of the chest swells out clearly.
It is an event within one minute to here. Do you say like “It was delicious. I’ll be doing well and well today too.”?
About two minutes later, the bird moved to the grassy plain nearby. The swelling of the stomach is not seen anymore.
