Here's a couple of what I think is a Thick-billed Kingbird, that or a Great Crested Flycatcher. He has a nest in the tree beside this power line. He gets a little exited when I get near the tree.

I'm not sure what these are. Spotted them sitting on some tall grass.

Nice images Ron. Your kingbirds are actually Western Kingbirds.

Thanks Brad, I wasn't sure. I've been keeping an eye on the nest. However it's high enough in the tree that there's no way to see if there's some young ones or even eggs. However that little fella sure does get a little exited when I'm near the tree.
