Eastern Kingbirds,
Tyrannus tyrannus, can be found across much of the United States and Canada. They lay 3 to 5 eggs in nests constructed of twigs and straw, lined with hair and rootlets.
Kingbirds belong to the Flycatcher family, and catch insects while in flight. Sometimes they sit on fences waiting for flying insects to come near them. They supplement their insect diet with berries and fruit.
Have a wonderful week!

ReplyDeleteWhat a cute little birds. I thought they were swallows. I love it when someone tells more about the birds he sees. Thank you for doing it. Oh, so nice that they sit on the fence. So it fits perfectly with Good Fences. (visiting you via Good Fences)

ReplyDeleteCute birds and that 2nd shot really showed off the color of the fencing and the birds.
ReplyDeleteHard for me to think of these pretty birds as tyrants (unlike T. Rex). But of course, they're all related!
