Default Gray Kingbird

Another from the Barbados series. A friend who travelled with us was feeding the birds and the kingbirds just watched. So he threw a bit of cake up into the air, and the kingbird swooped and caught it in mid air. Great flying skills. C&C welcome.
Kevin

Hello Kevin, Great series. They are all fabulous. Great lighting, great eyecontact, love the perch, and the backgrounds really make the bird pop. My fav though is the first one. Well done.

These are wonderful, I am completely drawn to the feathers in the third.
Was it wet, windy, preening or something else??
