Eastern Kingbird families

**It seems like there are families of Eastern Kingbirds everywhere along the Arkansas River. Besides the fact that a good number of this species has fledged in the past week or so, but the juveniles beg quite vociferously for food from their parents.

The first photo is of a juvenile. You can still see some of the orange coloration that young birds have. The second photo shows the same juvenile bird on the top and an adult bird with a large insect below--the juvenile had been chasing the adult bird and was begging to be fed.

SE Colorado is fortunate to have all 3 kingbird species (Eastern, Western and Cassin's) and they are common in much of this area.
