Hunting is basically the act of searching for food.  Hunting strategies vary among flycatchers, birds of prey, and other wild birds.  Warblers hunt for insects in foliage, using techniques such as probing dead leaves for hiding spiders.  The picture shows a Red-throated Loon near shore hunting for fish and other organisms in shallow water.
