Eastern Kingbird Photos

My Favorite : If it's summer, if you have a barbed wire fence, and there's any grassy habitat around at all (even if it's just the ditch), you've got a good chance of seeing an Eastern Kingbird. Seeing that trademark white-tipped tail on a bird sitting on a fence line is a true hallmark of summer in eastern South Dakota. We have both Eastern and Western Kingbirds throughout South Dakota, but in the southeastern part of the state where I live, it's these guys that you see the most. The "favorite" photo below is from Newton Hills State Park in South Dakota.
