Stephen > Tough light, but his western kingbird was giving me a nice perch on thistle.  Midlothian, Texas, May 2009
Stephen > The western kingbirds are back for the 2009 summer season.  This is the first image of one for this year.  It was diving down from this perch grabbing insects.  Midlothian, Texas, April 2009
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 > This western kingbird was perching on a large flowering weed that had just been mowed as it surveyed the ground for insects.  Midlothian, Texas, April 2008
Stephen > I encountered this western kingbird taking a brief rest on the ground in between perches and snagging insects off the ground.  Midlothian, Texas, April 2008
Stephen > I stumbled upon this nice low perching western kingbird as it was chasing insects around, well, insects, crows, mockingbirds, scissor tailed flycatchers and any other bird it didn't like in its area.  Midlothian, Texas, May 2008.
Stephen > While not as numerous as the western kingbird in my area, there are a good number of eastern kingbirds as well.  This was perched on some barbed wire, a very popular perch with many flycatchers, occasionally swooping down to pick up an insect.  Near Waxahachie, Texas, May 2008
Stephen > One of the nice things about my area is that, for a time, both the eastern and western kingbirds are here.  I was fortunate to have caught this eastern kingbird perched in a tree as it waited for insects to come out in the open.  Midlothian, Texas, April 2008.
