9. Eastern Kingbird (Tyrannus tyrannus) ______________________________

"The courage of this little Bird is singular. He pursues and puts
to flight all kinds of Birds that come near his station, from the
smallest to the largest, none escaping his fury."
- Mark Catesby -

I was lucky enough to have finally seen one this past year ... I
was at a friend's house and was asked to identify a bird in her
yard ... unfamiliar to me but it reminded me of a flycatcher, so
was quickly able to identify it in her bird book ... a
distinctive-looking bird.
