Competition is tough out there isn't it John.
Lovely Shrike, one of my favs, but I'm guessing the Kingbird is bigger.

Thanks Steve. Yes it can be. The birds are about the same size. The kingbird had some friends with him.

Thanks Bret. I think you may be right. Taken the day after a front passed through.
