Tropical Kingbird

            I believe this Kingbird has left the Island now the temperatures are in the Minus range ...Time will tell.

This Kingbird is very Rare on Vancouver Island .

A powerfully built flycatcher with a big head and a heavy, long bill. It has pointed but broad wings, and its medium-length tail shows a shallow notch in the center.
Forages by catching large flying insects on the wing, sallying out from a favored perch (often a telephone line) and returning to it to consume the prey. Also feeds on fruits, particularly during cooler weather. Perches conspicuously and when nesting flies out to confront many sorts of birds that come too close to the nest.
