The average bird meal consisted of 90.8% honey bees and 9.2% beetles. [28] Predation is more likely when the bees are queening or during the peak of migration, from late March till mid-April, and in mid-September. Hives close to or under trees or overhead cables are at increased risk as the birds pounce on flying insects from these perches. [29]

[36] Bird migration is not limited to birds that can fly. Most species of penguin (Spheniscidae) migrate by ...
Bats feeding on insects over a lake. Different bat species have different diets, including insects, nectar, pollen, fruit and even vertebrates. [146] Megabats are mostly fruit, nectar and pollen eaters. [137] Due to their small size, high-metabolism and rapid burning of energy through flight, bats must consume large amounts of food for their size.
A high-elevation meadow in the Oregon Coast Range is helping uncommon wildlife like purple martins, bats and bees. Walker Meadows is around 13 miles west of Veneta and at an elevation of 2,300 feet.
The bats eat moths, beetles, dragonflies, flies, true bugs, wasps, and ants. They usually catch flying prey in flight.
