Eastern Kingbird

 

Eastern Kingbirds are also very common in Killbear especially around the beaver ponds and rookery.

During the summer the Eastern Kingbird eats mostly flying insects and maintains a breeding territory that it defends vigorously against all other kingbirds. 

In the winter along the Amazon, however, it has a completely different lifestyle: it travels in flocks and eats fruit. Cornell All About Birds

Eastern Kingbird

 

The Eastern Kingbird is a sturdy, medium-sized songbird with a large head, upright posture, square-tipped tail, and a relatively short, straight bill.

Eastern Kingbirds often perch in the open atop trees or along utility lines or fences. They fly with very shallow, rowing wingbeats and a raised head, usually accompanied by metallic, sputtering calls.

Eastern Kingbirds are visual hunters, sallying out from perches to snatch flying insects. Cornell All About Birds
