The Tyrant 1222
Tyrannus tyrannus...That's the genus and species name for the Eastern Kingbird. The name means just what it sounds like. These small birds have a big attitude, especially when I comes to defending a nesting territory. Not only will they will fiercely defend again their own kind, but will take on much larger birds, like blue jays and even Red-tailed hawks. Their agility in the air makes them an adept adversary. It's hard to imagine this looking at this perfectly placid photo but watch them in the wild or play a recording of a kingbird and you will soon see what I mean. This little tyrant deserves our respect and admiration. The photo was taken on the grounds of the new #Virtua Hospital in Voorhees.
