Hunting Lunch

Rick Cartwright May 28, 2021

I believe this is the fist Eastern Kingbird we have seen this year. He was about 50 yards away, which made for a difficult photo. It came out better than I expected, especially the second photo.

Like many other species, these birds like to 'wait on an exposed perch and then catch insects in flight.' (Wikipedia). I guess he was hunting lunch.
