Description
I was set up to get shots of osprey and eagles and kept hearing some consistent chirping in a nearby bush. It took me a while but I finally found the kingbird perched on a branch and thought I would get a few shots. After a couple of shots I noticed a blur flashed into the frame and the consistent chirping stopped. Decided to just sit and observe and this scene unfolded. Not sure if this was a parent feeding her young or if this was part of a courtship, but what would happen is the perched kingbird would call and the other kingbird would show up with a berry. After a couple of attempts, I timed it just right and got a great memory. Sometimes you go out for eagles and come back with kingbirds, but never disappointed.
