eastern kingbird

Eastern Kingbird With dark gray/black upperparts and a neat white tip to the tail, the Eastern Kingbird looks like it’s wearing a business suit

This is the first time I've seen this bird here on our property, and that's 37 years.

...an Eastern Phoebe would wind up on the east coast ;) Another weekend visitor.

Eastern Kingbird aka Tyrant Flycatcher. I didn't know that one. I think the Eastern variety is more vibrant than the Western Kingbird. But my thoughts

Brought out the Kingbirds.

We're now over to my second birding hike at Estero Llano Grande. The first one went around some wetlands and out as far as where the Pauraques tend to hang out. Then we had a quick snack and a rest room break at the information center before setting out in the opposite direction to what's called...

..since I've seen these guys.

It's either Kingbirds or Blackbirds. I wish I knew the name of that bush. Located in a swamp area.

Same Kingbird from the flight foray

This Eastern Kingbird was repeatedly flying out and grabbing some prey following a circuit among several small trees in close proximity so I was lucky to catch it flying off for one of the courses in its evening meal.

I saw movement in the branches so I just kept hitting the shutter. Wound up with a few decent images ;)

This Kindbird took the pose for a portrait, I got few seconds.
