The scientific name Tyrannus means “tyrant, despot, or king,” referring to the aggression kingbirds exhibit with each other and with other species. When defending their nests they will attack much larger predators like hawks, crows, and squirrels. They have been known to knock unsuspecting Blue Jays out of trees.
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.

MANY THANKS FOR YOUR VISITS COMMENTS AND FAVES
THEY ARE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!
My first encounter with an Eastern Coyote! A close encounter at that!
At first I thought this was someone's dog, and that it's owner would be coming up behind them, so I went back to butterfly watching by the pond I had been camped at for 20 or so minutes. Something nudged me nearly a minute later and I had the thought that this was no ordinary dog...and there it was a minute later, watching me.
What a beautiful encounter! I hope I come across another soon on my walks!

Wikipedia: The eastern towhee (Pipilo erythrophthalmus) is a large New World sparrow. The taxonomy of the towhees has been under debate in recent decades, and formerly this bird and the spotted towhee were considered a single species, the rufous-sided towhee.
Their breeding habitat is brushy areas across eastern North America. They nest either low in bushes or on the ground under shrubs. Northern birds migrate to the southern United States. There has been one record of this species as a vagrant to western Europe: a single bird in Great Britain in 1966.
Conservation status: Least Concern

A young Eastern Phoebe which was migrating through posed for me just long enough to get off a couple of shots.

This is one Eastern imperial eagle out of four that live in my country.
Once upon a time there were a lot of them, and now we are struggling to preserve the remaining ones.
I'm so happy that this eagle was flying just above me today and I had time to take a picture of it.
Have a great day and thank you for visiting!
Each summer a handful of these birds come down to New Zealand from Eastern Siberia but no longer sleek and handsome but rather worn and tatty!
Cercis canadensis, the eastern redbud, is a large deciduous shrub or small tree, native to eastern North America from southern Ontario, south to northern Florida but which can thrive as far west as California. It is the state tree of Oklahoma.
Females are dimorphic. The yellow morph differs from the male in having a blue postmedian area on the dorsal hindwing. In the dark morph, the areas that are normally yellow are replaced with dark gray or black. The bluish postmedian area on the ventral hindwing has one row of orange spots.

An Eastern Kingbird (Tyrannus tyrannus) serving the terrain on the prairie landscape near the Great Sandhills south of Leader, Saskatchewan, Canada.
In a previous posting I observed the Western Kingbird in the same area so there is a little overlap on the northern range of the Western Kingbird species.
