Eastern kingbird Tyrannus tyrannus

I love this Shot. Head turn and all ;) What you think? Chick is 6 days old. The nest is at local pond built only 2 feet above the water. Canon 10D w/300 2.8L w/1.4X. Taken in late July.

Thanks for looking

Great capture, I never saw such a crisp image of this species on a nest plus with chicks. Usually their out of photo distance. Great find :eek:

Nice. Look like she is pleading for help with the chicks.
