I was so excited when I saw this Eastern Kingbird at the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary on Cape Cod. I had never seen one before. It was flitting from tree to tree on the bay side of Tri-Island. It landed just long enough for me to take  a photograph.

The Eastern Kingbird has slate-colored back and wings with a black head. It is about 8″ long. It likes to perch on top of trees which is where we saw it again on top of a dead tree by Goose Pond.

They will stay around all summer, so maybe you will ger lucky and see it there too!
