We drove out to Duck Harbor in Wellfleet to see if there was anything interesting going on and there, sitting on top of the tree, was a Kingbird. He was just beautiful! (Click on blog link for other photo.)

The Kingbird prefers semi-open or open areas. These birds wait on an exposed perch and then catch insects in flight. “The genus name, Tyrannus tyrannus, is the Latin word for ‘tyrant’, as these birds tend to defend their breeding territories aggressively, often chasing away much larger birds.”
