The broad-billed tody (Todus subulatus) is native to Hispaniola. To catch their prey of insects and small vertebrates, the tody will often "sit on a perch and keep its eyes and bill pointed upward, scanning for prey on the underside of leaves. In a quick, jerking motion, the tody will jump up in a parabolic arc and catch the prey mid-air, landing onto another perch or farther down the same perch, without interruption." (wiki)
