Stephen > Beguilingly looking down and around, I thought for sure this great kiskadee had something planned, but it turns out that it didn't.  It just wanted to see what all the action was at this water feature on the Martin Refuge.  Edinburg, Texas, June 2008
Stephen > Did something catch its eye?  If something did, this great kiskadee could not have cared less.  It quickly turned its head with indifference.  It was a probably one of the many doves that were hanging around below the perch.  Martin Refuge, Edinburg, Texas, June 2008
Stephen > Turning around to other side, this great kiskadee kept its situational awareness of the surroundings.  Martin Refuge, Edinburg, Texas, June 2008
Stephen > Late in the day, probably around 6:30pm, I finally was fortunate enough to see a great kiskadee arrive at blind #3 at the Martin Refuge.  It drank water, took some seed and gave me a few nice perches.  Edinburg, Texas, June 2008
Stephen > This Great Kiskadee had just come in to a water feature near the backyard patio of John and Audrey Martin's house at the Martin Refuge.  After taking the water it flew into some branches and began squawking.  I am not sure why, but it was loud!  Edinburg, Texas, June 2008
Stephen > After enjoying a cicada midday meal, this great kiskadee relaxes in the branches and leaves of the trees of the Martin Refuge.  The light is a bit harsh as I took this picture at noon, but I still like the image.  Edinburg, Texas, June 2008

Stephen > I noticed this eastern kingbird while in a boat going down the east fork of the San Jacinto River near Huffman, Texas. It was flying along the bank stopping every once and a while to survey the area.  June 2008
Stephen > Taking a break from the blinds, I walked around the house of John and Audrey Martin, owners of the Martin Refuge, where I ran into to these great kiskadees.  One had just finished putting a huge cicada in its mouth for a quick lunch.  If you look carefully, you can still see the wings of the cicada and the lump in the kiskadee's throat.
