More Kingbirds...

I went Back to HEB Hancock yesterday, where a nice associate store director came out shook my hand and asked me why I was taking pictures. While I toyed with telling her I was casing the joint for a terrorist attack, I told her instead that I was trying to get decent shots of the Kingbirds nesting in their young oak tree. Lest you think I lie, see this photo.



See? The bird, the oak and the HEB all in one photo.

This is the best shot I was able to get of a parent and at least 3 chicks.


Those little orange blobs beneath the parent are baby mouths.

Now some shots of the parents, a couple in flight. Pretty birds, no? They catch their food right out of the air, hence their classification as flycatchers.
