    I don't know what kind of bird it is, however, it's a pretty nice shot. Well done! I like the way the branch is "in sync" with the cloud. Very cool.

    Nice shot...from my bird books it looks to be identical to the picture of an Eastern Kingbird.

    Very nice capture Fred. Nice natural perch. Wish we had them here. Love all the flycatcher family.
    Well, partly right Casil. It is a Kingbird, but a Western one.
    The yellow belly and the tail having white edges running lengthwise, but no white on end of tail, gives it away.
    Eastern has a white band across end of tail, white belly with no yellow, and somewhat of a grey collar. Such as this.( Don't mean to hi-jack thread)

    Reality is a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there!
