Perched over water waiting to take off and flit around catcing insects and then he heads right back to the same perch. Alot of fun to watch.

Beautiful shot. I think I've only seen one before, and that was before I got into photography.

Great photo. I shot one of these last summer and hope to get more soon. They are a fun bird to watch.

Nice capture of a bird i am very familiar with. Scientific name is Tyranus Tyranus...King of the Tyrants and they are very territorial and i have seen one attack a Great Blue Heron. One of my favourite birds !!

Nice catch. I've seen our kingbirds this year, but I have nothing nearly this good.
