I wish I saw this one fly. It was quite content resting on the branch overlooking the lake.

I've had a lot of fun watching the Western Kingbirds this year. The bee population has increased and I've noticed the birds sitting up high to swoop down and get those bees. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/7101367
