| The Western Kingbird (Tyrannus verticalis) breeds over the western half of the United States. The bird shown here was a spring migrant at South Padre Island, Cameron Co., Texas, in April, 1997, and was photographed with a Canon T-90 and Sigma 500mm F/4.5 lens and 1.4X extender on Fuji Sensia. The bird below on the wire shows a typical view of a Western Kingbird across most of the western U.S. This one was in Weld Co., Colorado, in June, 2001, and was photographed with a Canon EOS 3 and EF 600mm F/4 L lens and 1.4X extender on Fuji Velvia. |
