Western Kingbird
Map and range not to any scale.
The above map only shows Summer and breeding range.
Winters in S. Mexico and S.W. Costa Rica.
*****************************************
Masters of hovering flight.
****************************
Note that the bird's right foot is not on any perch.
I was able to this image because the bird
would fly in and hover in this position for several seconds before perching.
By using my high speed film advance I was able to get the
landing sequence as in the image below.
