Tyrannus verticalis


Description:

Here's what happens if two Western Kingbirds think you're getting a little too close to their baby, which is sitting in the tree right above your head (you discover after you are repeatedly dive-bombed while recording). Note how similar their "alarm" call is to so many other bird species'.
