#EasternKingbirds —true to their “tyrant” name—relentlessly defend nests from larger predators like hawks, crows, squirrels, and even Blue Jays, unleashing fearless attacks that belies their small size.

According to ebird.com, Eastern Kingbirds are Large-headed medium sized flycatchers.
Eastern Kingbirds are named for the seldom seen crown they wear atop their heads.
Like royalty, Kingbirds wear a reddish-orange patch on top of its head that flashes during defensive or mating displays.
Eastern Kingbirds only have one brood a season and have a hearty survival rate-most likely due to the parents remaining with their chicks after they fledge to teach them how to hunt and survive.
Busy week--so here are my early #FeatheredFriday photos. Eastern Kingbirds after a downpour with mating "crown" feathers visible. #Birds #BirdingOH #EasternKingbirds #HighlandMetroPark #Nature #Photography
