Kingbirds are flycatchers. We are near the northwestern end of the range of two species. The Eastern Kingbird is black and white. More colourful, the Western Kingbird is grey, and yellow.

A Western Kingbird was seen preparing to feed a longhorn beetle to its enthusiastic chick.

Hi Alistair
Now why on Earth would you have both kingbirds down your way when we have neither up here in the Clearwater Valley? At one time the Eastern Kingbird used to nest here, but not any more. The last record I have dates from more than 15 years ago!
