Eastern Kingbird -- 16 May 2020 (Original Photos)

[etcmike]

On Saturday I noticed a bird in the field behind my house. Upon further inspection (through binoculars) I realized it was a bird I do not remember seeing in this area before. I snapped a few photographs to help in identifying the bird.

Photographs taken on 16 May 2020.

Eastern Kingbird

Looking through my identification books I determined this bird is an Eastern Kingbird which is common throughout much of North America east of the Rocky Mountains.

A memory came to my mind on two occasions I saw birds that I have never seen again and today we have so many possibilities to preserve that moment and share them. Thank you.

Vino un recuerdo a mi mente en dos ocasiones vi aves que jamás he vuelto a ver y hoy día tenemos tantas posibilidades de conservar ese momento y compartirlo. Gracias.

I agree. I was fortunate enough to have my camera at the ready when I saw the bird. And the bird was far enough away that I could run to the window without the bird being startled by my reflection in the window.

Have a great week!!
Hive on!!
