2 individuals. One acted very aggressively toward the other, as GCWA always do. Unsure if I was able to get photos of the 2nd bird, but the 3rd photo in this set may be it.
I'm not 100% sure what this MIKI is eating: at first, out in the field, I though it was a bird of some kind- possibly a Carolina wren. Then some of the photos on my camera made it look like a piece of fried chicken. Now that I am looking at the photos on my larger monitor, it looks like it might be a bat? I unfortunately did not have the best angle to capture the bird in action- the sun was in my face and there were trees in the way.
Update: It is (was) definitely a bat, and has been ID'd in a separate observation as an Eastern red bat (Lasiurus borealis). RIP bat.
