We had just taken a nice walk on the beach and decided to have our “car picnic” overlooking the beach at Nauset Light Beach. There were 8 surfers out there  trying to find that perfect wave. And then this bird flew in and landed on a small branch in front of our car overlooking the ocean. A perfect photo op!

It was an Eastern Kingbird and the first we have seen this year. What a treat! The Eastern Kingbird is a large flycatcher that is predominantly black and dark grey with white underparts.

Such a beautiful bird, don’t you think? Have you ever seen an Eastern Kingbird?
