Eastern Kingbird

The Eastern Kingbird is common here from May to August. Note its scientific name is Tyrannus tyrannus!

"This kingbird is a brawler, and it will fearlessly attack crows, hawks and even humans that pass through its territory. Intruders are often vigorously pursued, pecked and plucked for some distance, until the kingbird is satisfied there is no further threat." From "Birds of Alberta" by Fisher and Acorn.
